Sound of Falling is our #FilmoftheDay - in cinemas March 6 from @mubiuk
Four girls, Alma (1910s), Erika (1940s), Angelika (1980s), and Lenka (2020s) each spend their youth
on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past
linger in its walls. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other, revealing shared
secrets that have been kept hidden.
So grateful for this recognition at the European Film Awards. SOUND OF FALLING just won Best European Costume Designer 🏆✨
Thank you to the European film academy, and congratulations to the incredible @sabrina_kraemer_costume 👏

Mascha Schilinski's critically acclaimed SOUND OF FALLING opens this Friday at @ifccenter ! More info at the link in bio.
Shortlisted for Best International Feature at the 2026 Oscars®, Schilinski’s sprawling second film folds a hundred years at a remote German farmhouse into a meditation on sensation, violence, and womanhood. Separated by time but connected by their experiences, a curious girl in an austere 1910s family, a young woman at the end of World War II, a swimmer in the GDR era, and a modern-day teenager grapple with their youth and the past and present traumas that haunt them.
