We are delighted to announce that two London Film School alumni will premiere their feaure films at the East End Film Festival.
Alumnus Jan Hillman‘s (MAF 172) debut feature film BITTERSUITE is premiering at the East End Film Festival. BITTERSUITE is an intimate portrait of friendship, love triangles and home furnishings, Jan Hillman’s debut feature follows the journey of three friends across London. Transporting a couch to its new home, this new bit of furniture is a vehicle for mining themes of friendship and unspoken desire among modern urban twentysomethings, in the process exploring the Tinder generation’s approach to sex, secrets and second-hand sofas.
BITTERSUITE will be screening at Genesis on June 27th at 9.00am
Alumna Kyla Simone Bruce's (MAF 173) debut feature film UNDOCUMENT is also premiering at the Festival, building on her grad film about immigration and refugees. It is the story of a journey across three continents, this incredibly personal drama bears witness to the complex daily dilemmas faced by illegal immigrants. Following a variety of women attempting to give their children a better future away from the hardships of their homeland, this crowdfunded film was shot in Iran, Greece and London, with much of the film taking place in the East End. The human face of a politicised issue, about people, not numbers.
UNDOCUMENT will be screening at Rich Mix on July 2nd at 8.30pm
