Petits Salons Presents: Satisfaction
On February 9th we gathered for an intimate industry screening of Satisfaction at Petits Salons. A hidden room for a film that lives in silence.
Doors opened at 6:30pm with our screening kicking off at 7pm. We were joined by writer, director, and producer Alex Burunova.
Set against the sun soaked Greek isles, Satisfaction is a psychological drama about intimacy and power. As British composers Lola and Philip drift through a remote island retreat, the past begins to bleed into the present. When a chance encounter on a nudist beach introduces a local woman into their orbit, long-buried fractures rise to the surface.
Satisfaction premiered at SXSW in 2025 and has gone on to screen at festivals all over the world. The film stars Emma Laird (The Brutalist), Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk), Zar Amir Embrahimi (Holy Spider), and Adwoa Aboah (Gurls Talk). Produced by Rafael Thomaseto, Kyle Stroud, Helena Sardinha, and Iryna Asonova.
Petits Salons is an ongoing collaboration between Petit Ermitage, Cheshire Moon Productions, and Blkbrd Films. Don't miss out on these very special evenings and unique opportunities to network with fellow arthouse film lovers!
**This screening included a Q&A with Alex Burunova.
