The Levelling + Short

Screening as part of Wellington Films - 25th Anniversary Celebration

Winner of the BAFTA Scotland award for Best Writer, The Levelling tells the story of Clover Catto (Ellie Kendrick – Game of Thrones) who returns to the farm where she grew up after hearing news that her brother Harry has died—an apparent suicide. Finding the family home in ruins following recent floods that devastated the area, Clover is forced to confront her difficult father Aubrey – about the farm, the livestock and, crucially, the details surrounding Harry’s death.

Screening with short film Sudden Light (2020, 15m)

Mia (Esme Creed-Miles – Hanna) takes her sister Squeeze to walk their dog near their home. The landscape begins to morph around them, plunging them into a powerless limbo of grief and introducing Mia to a strange man lurking at the edge of a dark wood. Sudden Light was nominated for the short film Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival.
