Rita Tushingham ‘in conversation’ with us before the screening.
Adapted from the Royal Court Play ‘Outside Of Heaven’ by Martin Sadofski and directed by Julian Kerridge, this is a strongly atmospheric, independent British film. It boasts a talented young cast, supported by the splendid Rita Tushingham (A Taste of Honey, The Knack). Among the charismatic ensemble are: Jack McMullen and Reece Noi (both inWaterloo Road) and Georgia Henshaw (Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, and Skins IV). Rita Tushingham plus one of the young members of the cast will be “in conversation” with us before the feature.
Seamonsters tells the story of two shiftless young friends, Sam (Jack McMullen) and Kieran (Reece Noi), who are whiling away their time during the off-season in Worthing. The pair are stuck in a kind of limbo: too old to be kids any more, vaguely aware that it’s time to act grown-up. When they meet Lori (Leila Mimmack), a melancholy, mysterious girl, Sam is drawn to her even though she doesn’t offer him any encouragement.
When Sam is called out of town to attend a funeral, Lori and Kieran end up spending the day together doing stupid things, getting drunk, and collapsing by sea, despite the fact that they despise each other. By the time Sam returns, everything has changed.
