The Outrun (15)
Dir. Nora Fingscheidt, UK, 2024, 117 mins. Cast. Saoirse Ronan, Paapa Essiedu, Stephen Dillane.
A vivid and unflinching adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s wrenching personal memoir of addiction, powered by an extraordinary central performance from Saoirse Ronan. Addicted to hedonism, drink and drugs, a young woman must wrestle with recovery in the remote islands of Orkney whilst reckoning with her complex family history. Powered by a pounding soundtrack, a kinetic visual style and intricate narrative structure, this extraordinarily moving film is redemptive, cathartic and utterly riveting.

My November Guest (Georgie Gentile, 3 mins 28)
Shot on 16mm Tri-X film, hand-processed, and hand-toned with exhausted copper toner the film was then edited on a Steenbeck. The director wanted to explore movement in nature, specifically how wind subtly affects the environment and to show how diverse the environment can be through rhythmic editing. Georgie Gentile is an experimental filmmaker who primarily works on 16mm film, focusing on the materiality of the medium and how it can be manipulated. She adds to film through painting and gluing, as well as removes through scratching and bleaching. Georgie is currently receiving her MFA in Cinema at Binghamton University (USA).
