MIDWEST PREMIERE. Rosie Ming is a Canadian Francophile and poet. The only child of an Iranian father and Chinese mother, Rosie has been raised by her grandparents since the age of seven. Now in her twenties, she surprises her grandparents with a self-published volume of poems, My Eye Full: Poems by a Person Who Has Never Been to France. When she attends a poetry festival in Shiraz, Iran, Rosie finds herself in the company of older, more experienced poets – some of whom remember her father.
Window Horses is an earnest and lush exploration of family, poetry, imagination, and culture from writer/director/illustrator ANN MARIE FLEMING, and an all-ages treat for the senses. Featuring the voices of SANDRA OH, SHOHREH AGHDASHLOO, and ELLEN PAGE. Winner of the VANCOUVER FILM FESTIVAL BEST CANADIAN FEATURE FILM AWARD.
