Sweden, 2022 / 119 Mins
Director: Lasse Hallstöm
Starring: Tora Hallström, Catherine Chalk, Lily Cole
The film explores the enigmatic life – and loves – of Hilma, whose unconventional and highly spiritual art remained relatively unknown for decades. It tells the story of an unwavering search for the truth about humanity and the universe through art, at a time when men made all the rules.
Today Hilma af Klint is recognised as one of the Western world’s first abstract artists, an achievement made even more impressive by the male-dominated artistic scene that surrounded her.
