Event Details
This week on The Sounds of Film, host Tom Needham speaks with director Gala Gracia about her powerful debut feature, The Remnants of You. Set against the backdrop of a rural Aragonese Pyrenees life, the film tells the story of a young jazz musician who returns home following the sudden death of her father.
What unfolds is a poignant exploration of grief, self-discovery, and the quiet strength of women rooted in agricultural communities. Drawing from her own life, Gracia crafts a visually stunning and deeply personal meditation on loss, legacy, and resilience in the most unexpected of places.
The Remnants of You is the Closing Night Film at the Stony Brook Film Festival, screening on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM (ET).
