FIRST FORTNIGHT 2021: Evelyn

Director: Orlando von Einsiedel

100 mins, UK, 2019, digital


Presented in association with First Fortnight

Evelyn is a deeply personal film from the Oscar-winning filmmakers of The White Helmets and Virunga. Fourteen years after the suicide of their son and brother, Evelyn and her family decide to walk the length of the UK and try to talk about him – something they had failed to do in over a decade.  This poetic feature documentary explores the fabric of grief and the longevity of love. Part quest film, part road-trip, part memoir, Evelyn is an exposition of the taboos of mental health and male emotion, and a tribute to our times.

Please note that due to rights restrictions, all viewings of Evelyn must be COMPLETED by 22.00 on Sunday 3rd.
