Rotations presents Caroline Golum's *Revelations of Divine Love*. Post-screening Q+A with director in person! See trailer at the Rotations website: https://rotations-la.net/screenings/comingsoon ∆ An irreverent biopic vividly realized through fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets with an ever-topical feminist approach, *Revelations of Divine Love* is inspired by and adapted from the memoir of 14th-century mystic and philosopher Julian of Norwich and an account of religious ecstasy, plague, and revolt considered to be the first book to be authored by a woman in English. The film envisions the life of Julian in the lead up to her anchorage—through her illness and the onset of her godly visions—and follows her through the years as she indulges in her desire to write and becomes a revered and holy figure to those in her town and beyond the city walls. ∆ Preceded by: Three Mystics, 9m, 2023, Greece Ioanna Filippopoulou Three Mystics is a filmic essay referring to the spiritual journeys of three historical figures: Sufi poetess Rabia al Basra, esoteric writer Marguerite Porete, a Christian, and Lingayat Akka Mahadevi. Each mystic’s ritual is reflective of her devotion to her deity, showcasing how different religions all thread in common divine love. ∆ Q&A with director Caroline Golum & Larisa Grollemond, Associate Curator of Manuscripts, Getty Museum
