This filmic tableau of truth, trauma, and trust is queer in more ways than one. Its events occur almost entirely within the walls of an isolated Estonian smoke sauna which is exclusively occupied by a close community of Võro women – diverse in body, identity, and experience. Smoke Sauna Sisterhood explores the bonds between these women through the physical rituals and raw, powerful storytelling they tenderly share with one another – and with us.
This quietly radical documentary is nothing short of spellbinding in its style and subject matter, earning director Anna Hints the well-deserved World Cinema Documentary Directing Award at Sundance. Don’t miss the chance to experience the gorgeous intimacy that plays across its smoke-filled screen.
