Scrapper, Thursday, August 24, 7:15pm
– Georgie is a dreamy 12-year-old girl who lives alone in her London flat, filling it with magic after the death of her mother. Out of nowhere, her estranged father Jason arrives and forces her to confront reality.
A Kind Of Kidnapping, Friday, August 25, 7:15pm
– MNFF9 AWARD WINNER: Best Narrative Feature
– A young, broke couple kidnap a sleazy politician who decides he can spin the story to his own advantage.
After Love, Saturday, August 26, 7:15pm
– Mary Hussain, who converted to Islam when she married and is now in her early 60s, lives quietly in Dover with her husband Ahmed. Following his unexpected death, she discovers that Ahmed had a secret life just twenty-one miles away, across the Channel in Calais.
A generational comedy, an uproarious romp and a beautiful exploration of self-identity – each part of a wonderful trio of films from terrific British filmmakers. Enjoy The British Invasion!
