Smoke Sauna Sisterhood director Anna Hints will be in London on Wednesday October 10th for a Q&A alongside an advance screening at 8 pm of her new film at the Hackney Picturehouse. The film will go on general release across the UK on 13th October. You can watch the trailer here or see a full list of screenings here.

Community Sauna Baths in Hackney Wick have organised a special pre-cinema sauna session and a free door-to-door minibus transfer from the sauna to the cinema. The sauna session starts at 6 pm.

Note: the sauna and cinema experiences are booked separately!

“In the darkness of a smoke sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences, washing off the shame trapped in their bodies and regaining their strength through a sense of communion.”

The film has already won Director Anna Hints an award at the Sundance film festival and is the Estonian entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the Oscars.
