June's Volunteer of the Month is Anika, who has chosen Céline Sciamma's 2019 contemporary classic, Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
On an isolated island in Brittany, at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter named Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman named Héloïse (Adèle Haenel). Over time, as commission turns to something resembling residence, a connection between the two soon sparks into a romance that promises to explode on the very island they reside in.
Winner of Best Screenplay at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Portrait of a Lady on Fire has enraptured audiences worldwide with its deeply intimate storytelling.
We are OC’s year-round film festival.
