Vision - From the Life of Hildegard Von Bingen

Thursday, April 7, 7:30pm; Friday & Saturday, April 8 & 9, 5:30pm & 8pm; Sunday, April 10, 2pm
Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist, and ecological activist. New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta reunites with star Barbara Sukowa to bring the story of von Bingen to life. Sukowa portrays von Bingen's fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of women within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God....More online including trailer.
