![Ari Aster on HEREDITARY [Includes Spoilers] | TIFF 2018](/img/logo.svg){kind=logo}
As our audiences discovered during an exclusive advance premiere, watching #Hereditary in a cinema is equivalent to two hours of exercise. (Science doesn’t lie.) Director Ari Aster joined us and George Strombo to share advice on watching the film ("Forget the trailer"), why Hereditary is for "the family," and his cinematic influences.
Following rapturous receptions of his highly anticipated feature debut, Hereditary, at Sundance and SXSW, writer-director Ari Aster joins us for an onstage conversation and advance screening of the film. Hailed by critics and audiences as one of the best and most terrifying horror films of the decade, Hereditary follows artist and mother Annie Graham (Toni Collette) as she deals with the grief and fallout from her mother's death, which triggers her own life to slowly spiral out of control.
Ari Aster received his MFA in directing from the AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles. He has written and directed several short films, including The Strange Thing About the Johnsons (11), Munchausen (13), and Basically (14). His films have screened at the New York Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Slamdance, and many others. Hereditary (18) is his feature debut.
