Signs of Life + Q&A

Directed by Joseph Millson

Struck dumb by a dangerous cycle of depression and grief, Anne (Sarah-Jane Potts) attempts to shift her life by taking herself on a cheap holiday, she hopes to find peace, beauty and perspective, but on arrival she’s met with noise, squalor and danger. Threats to her safety force Anne to sleep rough in a unknown place, a chance encounter with another solo traveller, Bill (David Ganly) offers her an unexpected solution and a chain of surprising and often hilarious events unfold between these two strangers. Anne finds her guarded nature challenged by this open hearted yet bruised man, both find space to re-evaluate their approach to love and happiness, but opening up offers risks which will either heal them or crumble them completely.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with writer/director Joseph Millson, hosted by film writer and journalist Jordan King (Empire).
