There, There

Maritime filmmaker Heather Young's second feature follows her award-winning Murmur (winner of the FIPRESCI Award and nominated for Canada's Top Ten at TIFF 2019). Using a fixed camera, this moving film captures the poignant loneliness of two women separated by decades. Shannon, a very young, pregnant and abandoned woman, cares for Ruth, an elderly woman suffering from dementia. With striking austerity, the film explores themes of aging and everyday life, creating a work of great quiet power. Prepare yourself for a moving and heartbreaking reflection on life.
