Premiered in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes, A Girl at My Door is a fresh and rare gem from July Jung, one of the few female film makers to have emerged from South Korea. We loved it and are thrilled to have a preview screening of this sophisticated, subtle and disturbing drama.  

Bae Doona (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, The Host, Sense8) gives a remarkable performance as Young-nam, a top graduate of the Korean police academy who has been transferred from Seoul to a small seaside town due to "misconduct". On her first patrol she encounters the mysterious Dohee; a young girl who is excluded by her local community and suffering domestic abuse. Feeling compelled to protect the girl from her family by taking her in, Young-nam puts everything on the line as her own troubles gradually come to the fore, building towards an explosive climax, equally affecting and effective.

"a remarkable piece of work" Eye for Film

"The resulting picture, thrumming with love, desire and violence, is excellent." The Skinny

This is a rescheduled screening. We loved this film too much to not play it following Thursday's cancellation. Tickets will be available on the door only.

We will also be screening the following short film before the feature

Middle Man – dir. Charlie Francis (UK) 4 mins 2014

After a misunderstanding, Nathan tries to get in contact with his hearing impaired boyfriend through a type-to-talk service. Will the middle man be able to fix the situation or will Nathan have to find another way to communicate?
