Take 5 with SIFF: Charlotte Hajer

Executive Director | Sonoma Community Center | Sonoma, California


Charlotte Hajer

Describe yourself as a film genre:

Before I had kids, I might have been something broody and European. But these days, life feels mostly like a screwball comedy.

What is your favorite movie of all time and why?:

I've always loved Franco Zeffirelli's Jane Eyre - the one with Charlotte Gainsbourg. I loved the book and to me, this movie version gets the tone just right.

Who would play you in a movie?:

I'm told I look like Charlize Theron!

What's your go to movie snack?:

Anything with chocolate in it...

What Film Title best describes your life?

Hmm... I'll say Chocolat - as a reminder to slow down and savor life, no matter how chaotic it gets.
