JBFC Livestream with Viggo Mortensen: We are excited to welcome director/writer/star Viggo Mortensen back for a live virtual discussion of his film Falling with JBFC Board President Janet Maslin on Wednesday, January 27 at 7:00 pm.

RSVP now for this free event! Shortly before the livestream begins, you’ll receive an email from the JBFC with details and links to join the conversation in real time.

John (Viggo Mortensen) lives with his partner, Eric (Terry Chen), and their daughter, Mónica (Gabby Velis), in California, far from the traditional rural life he left behind years ago. John’s father, Willis (Lance Henriksen), a headstrong man from a bygone era, lives alone on the isolated farm where John grew up. Willis is in the early stages of dementia, making running the farm on his own increasingly difficult, so John brings him to stay at his California home so that he and his sister Sarah (Laura Linney) might help him find a place near them to relocate to. Unfortunately, their best intentions ultimately run up against Willis’ adamant refusal to change his way of life in the slightest.

Falling will be available to watch exclusively in the JBFC Virtual Screening Room for two weeks starting January 22. Stream the film at your leisure, then join us for a discussion!
