Raise Ravens
film and lecture
10.11.2026 19:00
Screening with an introduction by Klaudia Rachubińska.
Raise Ravens is a story as fleeting as it is unsettling about 8-year-old Anna (the unforgettable Ana Torrent), who one summer grapples with her emotions toward her beloved mother (the mesmerizing Geraldine Chaplin). Dressed in a red turtleneck, the girl lives in a huge house with her two sisters, her aunt, and her grandmother – in a world full of incredible objects and tightly sealed off from reality.
Weaving together a child’s imagination with local history, the film is both a poignant portrait of childhood and a diagnosis of a nation that had long been under General Franco’s dictatorship. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this masterpiece by master filmmaker Carlos Saura is steeped in fairy-tale magic – not only because of its timeless charm, but also its mystery and darkness.
The 4K restored version was completed in 2026 and screened for the first time in the Cannes Classics section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
A new 4K restored version of one of the greatest masterpieces of Spanish cinema, marking the 50th anniversary of its release.

Bathed in a green glow that heralds the coming of autumn, Raise Ravens evokes associations with another story about memory, recollections, and the power of a child’s imagination – Céline Sciamma’s *Little Mom*.
