'On Falling' won the European Discovery Award - Prix FIPRESCI at the European Film Awards 😱❤️ Thank you! We wanted this film to speak to the relentless and dehumanising expansion of neoliberalism, while also reminding us that human nature will continue to resist. Long live European Cinema!

This is not exactly a Christmas movie, but its depiction of a woman struggling to survive in a dehumanised worplace in the service of rampant consumerism, set against the kindness and decency of the people she encounters in the outside world, holds out some hope of redemption. Highly recommended.
