We’re happy to offer our DC area readers the chance to attend a free early screening of The Testament of Ann Lee. Directed by Mona Fastvold, the film stars Amanda Seyfried in a critically acclaimed performance as the founder of the Shakers movement.
Synopsis: From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
The screening takes place tomorrow, January 6th at 7:00pm at AFI Silver. If you’d like to attend, RSVP at the Google form here. Please remember, all screenings are first come first served and you’ll need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!
The Testament of Ann Lee opens in DC on January 16th.
