We are delighted to be showing the acclaimed Smoke Sauna Sisterhood documentary as part of the Cornish Sauna festival –
An intimate portrait of tradition, trust and the enduring ritual of the smoke sauna. The smoke sauna has come to international prominence thanks to Smoke Sauna Sisterhood, an astonishing documentary that won a directing award at the Sundance festival and was Estonia’s entry for the Oscars.
Restorative, earthy yet ethereal feature-length doc debut finds the feminine sublime in a traditional Estonian sauna.
Directed By Anna Hints. This film is deeply moving and will having you laughing crying and rolling through the emotions like the waves of steam. A ghostly presence seems visible through the clouds of steam, speaking the attitudes of a past the women have fought to escape. Collectively, the women emerge as a generation seeking change and wanting to build a better future for those who follow them.
