Screening
Screen/Society–”Aftersun” (Charlotte Wells, 2022)
Open To The PublicIn Charlotte Wells’ superb and searingly emotional debut film, Sophie reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday she took with her father twenty years earlier. Memories real and imagined fill the gaps between miniDV footage as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn’t.

“Rare and special is a film capable of summoning this much poignancy: a feeling which lingers well beyond the film’s final, achingly moving moments on screen.” – Empire
