UNSPOKEN, A“brilliantly understated and deceptively simple film”
IN PERSON FILM EVENT!
Don’t miss the Chicago premiere of UNSPOKEN, a powerful new film presented by the Queer Expression Film Fest sponsored by Open Space Arts. After the screening, stay for a lively discussion and social gathering in the Facets lounge.
UNSPOKEN follows Noam, a closeted teenager in a deeply religious community who stumbles upon a hidden love letter written to his grandfather—by another man, before the Holocaust. Driven by curiosity and longing, Noam sets out to uncover the truth about his grandfather’s past and, ultimately, his own identity.
In an era marked by rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial, Unspoken resonates deeply. This moving coming-of-age story features strong performances, thoughtful writing, and emotional twists that make it both timely and timeless.
