Filming a Family Special Event
About
1PM-6PM // Join us on Mother’s Day weekend for a special documentary double-bill digging deep into the realities of family life from the dual perspective of mother and daughter directors. Book both films in this event for just £12 - Tea & Coffee included.1PM: The Closer We Get (PG) - this powerful and exquisitely-shot autobiographical portrait shows us loyalty, broken dreams and redemption as told by reluctantly-dutiful daughter and director Karen, who takes us under the skin of the household she returns to for this long goodbye.
2.45PM: Join Nina Pope producer and DOP for The Closer We Get in conversation with Victoria Mappledeck, BAFTA award-winning director of the remarkable new smart phone feature documentary, Motherboard. Both films show us the complexities of family life in all its unfiltered glory.
4PM: Motherboard (15) + Q&A - Victoria Mapplebeck turned the camera on herself when she found herself single, pregnant, and broke at 38. Shot over two decades, 'Motherboard' is a celebration of solo motherhood and proof that epic journeys can begin and end at home.
