From director Luca Guadagnino (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, CHALLENGERS).
Julia Roberts embodies chilly, seemingly self-assured Yale philosophy professor Alma Olsson, whose comfortable professional career and domestic life with her mercurial husband Frederik (Michael Stuhlbarg) are thrown into chaos after her PhD candidate protégée Maggie (Ayo Edebiri) accuses Alma’s longtime colleague and friend Hank (Andrew Garfield) of sexual assault. As a result, the air of rarefied academic privilege on campus begins to dissolve, and Alma must navigate minefields of gender, sexuality, race, and institutional power, all while trying to reconcile her own difficult choices with the demons of her past.
There will be a post-screening conversation with the audience after the film led by Professor Crystal Feimster (Black Studies and American Studies) & Professor Joe Fischel (Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies)
Presented by Yale Film Society and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS)
(Though AFTER THE HUNT is set at Yale University, the university was not part of the film's production in any way. Any reference or allusion to positions held by the university or persons associated with the university in the film are completely fictitious.)
