Followed by Q&A with director Caroline Golum!

An irreverent biopic vividly realized through fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets with an ever-topical feminist approach, Revelations of Divine Love is inspired by and adapted from the memoir of 14th-century mystic and philosopher Julian of Norwich and an account of religious ecstasy, plague, and revolt considered to be the first book to be authored by a woman in English. The film envisions the life of Julian in the lead up to her anchorage—through her illness and the onset of her godly visions—and follows her through the years as she indulges in her desire to write and becomes a revered and holy figure to those in her town and beyond the city walls.

“Brimming with the mystery of manifestation, it is a work of sheer will, equal parts spiritual inquiry
and cinematic lament.” – Sofia Bohdanowicz, Filmmaker Magazine
