Modern-day Cornish fisherman Martin is struggling to buy a boat while coping with family rivalry and the influx of London money, Airbnb and stag parties to his harbour village. The summer season brings simmering tensions between the locals and newcomers to boiling point, with tragic consequences, all stunningly shot on a vintage 16mm camera using monochrome Kodak stock.
‘A creeping, original British work that feels pounded into existence by hand, or possibly belched up by the angry sea’ – Ian Mantgani, Sight and Sound
Cinemas of the Mind meets on a Monday evening each month (often the first Monday) for a post-screening discussion facilitated by Dr Jake Harvey, a forensic psychiatrist, and Jenny Leeburn, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Whilst the discussion will focus on the psychological aspects of the film, and the emotional impact on the viewer, the club is very much open to everyone and all perspectives, views and ideas are most welcome (indeed encouraged). After the film, please get drink and/or snack and we will start the discussion 15mins after the film, in the Studio. The discussion will last up to an hour. The discussion is included in your cinema ticket, places for up to 40 people.
Cinemas of the Mind, part of the Arts Forum of Psychotherapy Sussex, has been running post screening events since 2001. CPD certificates available on request.
Booking is strongly recommended as the film is being shown in Screen 3. You can book tickets here
