Vault of Glass by Candace Robinson6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The mother keeps the girl in a cave I believe out of fear, coming occasionally to wash her face, bring her food, and clean her hair. The story follows the birth of a baby who is claimed by a shapeshifting witch despite her mother’s pleas. (We’ll get a screener sent to us soon so we can rewatch with subtitles, so I’ll be coming back to update this post once we do!) Still the story was so visual and the interactions so visceral, we didn’t need dialogue to understand what was going on. The poor employees tried multiple times to get subtitles to work, but after three or four stops and starts they gave up. The screening we saw had a multitude of issues, as many who screen foreign films have likely seen before. Imagine my surprise and delight to find this film which portrays a shapeshifter I had never heard of before. It’s something I’ve always enjoyed working into my novels, from the Stolen series to The Seeking to The Wolves of Kanta series. If you’ve read my work, I have a love of shapeshifters and people who can take on the appearance of someone or something else. The other day I got to attend a movie screening for a Macedonian film from independent film company Focus Films: You Won’t Be Alone. ![]()
