Apolonia, Apolonia

Running time: 117 minutes 
Q & A: approx 30 minutes 

Thirteen years in the making, Danish director Lea Glob’s documentary film Apolonia, Apolonia charts the personal and professional development of Parisian artist Apolonia Sokol. The film explores Apolonia’s career as she tries to establish herself in the art world at the same time as dealing with the pressures - and pleasures - of womanhood in a world dominated by the patriarchy, capitalism and war.  

Winner of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam’s Best Film award in 2022, the film was also shortlisted in the 2024 Academy Awards. The film’s soundtrack was composed by Jonas Struck (Denmark), and has been shortlisted for the Nordic Council Music Prize.  

Jonas Struck will be joined by Glasgow Film Festival’s Paul Gallagher and Signý Leifsdóttir of Nordic Film Music Days for a short Q & A following the screening.

Screened in partnership with Nordic Film Music Days and Glasgow Film Theatre.
