Join Oscar-winning producer and Director-at-Large of Birds’ Eye View Mia Bays and special guest, writer/director Jessica Swale for a post-screening Q&A
SYNOPSIS
‘Summerland’ follows the story of fiercely independent folklore investigator, Alice (Gemma Arterton) who secludes herself in her clifftop study, debunking myths using science to disprove the existence of otherworldly forces and magic. Consumed by her work, but also profoundly lonely, she is haunted by a love affair from her past.
“Arterton triumphs again and Swale marks herself as a director to watch. Summerland successfully combines an intelligent feminist fable and a lesbian love story with a slick period tearjerker.” Empire
