Exclusive Trailer for Graham Swon's An Evening Song (for three voices) Showcases a Captivating Melodrama from the 1930s.

      A key figure in New York City’s independent film community, Graham Swon has produced works by Ricky D’Ambrose, Joanna Arnow, Dan Sallitt, Matías Piñeiro, Gina Telaroli, Ted Fendt, and others. He has now premiered his second directorial feature, An Evening Song (for three voices), at various film festivals. We are excited to exclusively share that after screenings at FIDMarseille, First Look, Berlin Critics Week, and more, the film has been picked up by Factory 25 for a theatrical release starting at NYC’s Anthology Film Archives on May 24 and 25, followed by a showing at L.A.’s 2220 Arts and Archives on May 29, presented by Acropolis Cinema, with more cities to be announced. In anticipation of the release, we are also delighted to unveil the first trailer.

      An Evening Song features Deragh Campbell, Hannah Gross, Peter Vack, and Neil Brooks Cunningham. The synopsis reads: “In 1939, in the American Midwest: to address former child-prodigy writer Barbara Fowler’s (Hannah Gross) crippling agoraphobia, she and her pulp-fiction writer husband, Richard (Peter Vack), relocate to the countryside, where they become involved in a love triangle with their deeply religious maid (Deragh Campbell) in this lyrical exploration of a world on the brink of extinction.”

      Blake Williams remarked after the film's premiere at Film Fest Knox, “Filmed in Fairfield and around the nearby Des Moines River, An Evening Song is a melodrama set in the 1930s that lives up to its title: three voices—pulp author Richard (Peter Vack), his alluring wife Barbara (Hannah Gross), and their severely burned housekeeper Martha (Deragh Campbell)—engage in a rustic love triangle amid the region's ancient hills, their prayers, whispered aspirations, and sincere glances intertwined in a nearly constant flow of crossfades (I believe I could count the number of hard cuts in this film on my fingers). Enhancing the film’s mesmerizing atmosphere was a dreamy (and honestly beautiful) drone score by Rachel Evans, along with a strikingly impressionistic visual style achieved by filming through a sheet of custom ground glass, which produces intense vignetting and the sensation of viewing the film through a Hasselblad viewfinder. While the film's writing, including dialogue delivered in a scholarly prose style, is not its strongest element, it is aware of this. It’s a film to be experienced through sound and tone rather than visually scrutinized.”
