Saffron Cinema is excited to present the screening of Penny Vozniak's unmissable, uncompromising & compelling:

DESPITE THE GODS (JENNIFER LYNCH'S BOLLYWOOD ODYSSEY AKA MAKING OF HISSS!),

fresh from it's US Premiere & Gold Hugo Nomination at the Chicago International Film Festival last month!

DESPITE THE GODS synopsis:
Hollywood's prodigal child, Jennifer Lynch (infamous daughter of Cult Director David Lynch) is well known for making bold, if not ill-fated, choices in her filmmaking career. Despite the Gods tells the untold tale of Jennifer who travels to India to direct Hisss: a creature-feature film about the vengeful snake Goddess Nagin. But things go wrong very quickly. Nothing could prepare her for the unmapped territory of Bollywood-Hollywood movie making, where chaos is the process and filmmaking doubles as a crash course in acceptance and self-realization. Perhaps there is a good reason why Hollywood and Bollywood have never blended like this before…

“This is a penetrating, highly entertaining portrait of Lynch as an artist and single mother living through the despairing lows and exhilarating highs of filming on the subcontinent.” Richard Kuipers, Variety
