The Outrun
Reclaim The Frame Preview Screening + Recorded Q&A with Saoirse Ronan & director Nora Fingscheidt
Event details
Directed by Nora Fingscheidt
Starring Saoirse Ronan, Paapa Essiedu, Stephen Dillane
Set against the wild, rugged landscape of the Orkney Islands, this deeply personal story explores the themes of addiction, survival, and the healing power of nature.
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona (played by Academy Award-winner Saoirse Ronan) returns to her childhood home in the Orkney Islands. Sober, yet struggling with loneliness, Rona works to suppress the memories of the events that led her into recovery. As she reconnects with the mystical land around her, the windswept islands slowly enter her inner world. One day at a time, Rona begins to find hope and strength in herself, supported by the beauty and harshness of the landscape.
