Film screening with the filmmaker, sponsored by Chapel House

Every marriage is a mystery, even to the people involved. In her short personal documentary More Than You Can Know, Canadian-American writer Naomi Guttman explores her parents’ long marriage, and the contrast between youthful idealism and real life. With home-movie footage, letters, photographs, and surprisingly candid interviews about love, fidelity, and gender roles, the film provides a rare and intimate glimpse into the arc of a complex relationship.

Born and raised in Montréal, Canada, filmmaker and writer Naomi Guttman has published three books of poetry, including the novella in verse, The Banquet of Donny & Ari: Scenes From the Opera (Brick Books). Guttman teaches literature and creative writing at Hamilton College. More Than You Can Know is her first film. Naomi Guttman will be in attendance for a Q&A session following the screening.
