Summer Hours
In 'Summer Hours', the divergent paths of three forty-something siblings collide after their mother (Edith Scob), heiress to her uncle's exceptional 19th century art collection, dies suddenly, leaving them to come to terms with themselves and their differences. Adrienne (Juliette Binoche) a successful New York designer, Frédéric (Charles Berling) an economist and university professor in Paris, and Jérémie (Jérémie Renier) a dynamic businessman in China, are forced to discuss the practical details concerning the collection: preserve or sell? Display, or protect? In doing so they must confront the end of childhood, their shared memories, background and unique vision of the future.
Directed by Olivier Assayas; Starring, Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier.
Viewers of Summer Hours will also be privileged to view a short film 'My Uncle Bluey' prior to the movie screenings. Click here for more information about this and other short films being screened during the festival.

“Beguiling drama... stunning...a deeply human story. A beautifully understated movie about family ties.”
