Cinema at the Museum: This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection

Amongst the mountains of Lesotho, an 80-year-old widow winds up her affairs and makes arrangements for her burial. But when her village is threatened with resettlement due to the construction of a reservoir, she finds a new will to live and ignites a spirit of resistance within her community.
This September, Cinema at the Museum presents a series of international films that highlight the stories and perspectives of filmmakers from around the world. These films geographically and thematically travel through various cinematic lenses to examine overarching themes of existential questioning, moral ambiguity, celebrity, resilience, and human connection.
