Azrael
Azrael
You’re invited to join us for a theatrical screening of My First Film, including an in-person conversation with director E.L. Katz and writer Simon Barrett, moderated by Jenn Wilson (Senior Programmer, Film Independent).
In a world in which no one speaks, a mysterious, devout community hunts down a young woman named Azrael (Samara Weaving) who has escaped their imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, she is to be sacrificed to pacify an evil which resides deep within the surrounding wilderness – but Azrael will stop at nothing to ensure her own freedom and survival. From the seeds of this gritty, relentless parable of sacrifice and salvation, comes an immersive, real-time, action horror tale from the visionary minds of Simon Barrett and E.L. Katz.
From IFC Films and Shudder, Azrael premieres exclusively in theatres on September 27.

Katz | Starring Samara Weaving, Vic Carmen Sonne, Katariina Unt, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Sebastian Bull Sarning, | Produced by Dan Kagan, Simon Barrett, and Dave Caplan | Executive Produced by Jason Cloth, Katrin Kissa, Michael Rothstein, and Samuel Hall
