Ryder Film Series: FOUR DAUGHTERS (Showings at 4pm and at 7pm)

Submitted by Tunisia as their official entry to the 96th Academy Awards, Four Daughters is a mesmerizing, formally ambitious documentary that bends the edges of narrative form in careful service to the stories of brave, bold, and complicated women.

Between light and darkness stands Olfa, a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. One day, her two older daughters disappear. To fill in their absence, Oscar-winning filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses and invents a unique cinema experience that will lift the veil on Olfa and her daughters’ life stories. An intimate journey of hope, rebellion and sisterhood that will question the very foundations of our societies.
