Already her powerful first feature Soft & Quiet earned Beth de
Araújo a Grand Jury Award nomination at SXSW. Based on a personal
traumatic childhood experience, her second film follows an
8-year-old girl, played by newcomer Mason Reeves, who becomes the
key witness in a rape trial. After premiering at Sundance where it
won both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic and the U.S. Dramatic
Audience Award, Josephine is now screening in the Perlak section
for festival highlights at San Sebastián. There the director-writer
spoke with Lidanoir about the story’s autobiographical inspiration,
rape culture, and shooting with co-star Channing Tatum and Mason.
