DOK.fest München im Lenbachhaus: A Sudden Glimpse Into Deeper Things

In the organizer's words:

DOK.fest München is celebrating its 40th birthday. For the anniversary edition from May 7 to 25, 2025, the festival is presenting new film series and top-class competitions. In cooperation with DOK.fest, the Lenbachhaus is showing the film "A Sudden Glimpse Into Deeper Things" (Great Britain 2024, Mark Cousins, English, 88 min.).

In 1949, British painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham climbed the Grindelwald Glacier in Switzerland and experienced a revelation that rewired her brain and changed her art forever. Filmmaker Mark Cousins delves into her life and work and explores the secrets of her creativity - a special and fascinating portrait of a woman artist.
