SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Friday, December 19 at 6:35 show: Q&A with Sundance award-winning writer/director Hailey Benton Gates moderated by award-winning filmmaker Mona Fastvold 


Please note that there are additional showtimes of ATROPIA that screen with open captions (on-screen display of dialogue and sounds). For those showtimes click here.

When an aspiring actress (Alia Shawkat) in a military role-playing facility falls in love with a soldier (Callum Turner) cast as an insurgent, their unsimulated emotions threaten to derail the performance.  What unfolds is an audaciously funny satire that asks: In the performance of war, who are the winners and who are the losers?
