Burn Burn Burn (2:45pm) is the first feature for Chanya Button with two female lead characters and one male one (though dead and now in a Tupperware container). It’s a mix of comedy and tragedy: although some of us may have had to dispose of the ashes of a loved one, it’s unlikely they’ll have given us specific instructions of several places they are to be scattered and why. So Dan's death from pancreatic cancer at a young age sends his best friends Seph and Alex on a road trip in an old Volvo. There may be tears shed!
After that Adult Life Skills (4:55pm) is based on another death. A near-30 year old, unable to get over the death of her brother, is living at home in her mother's garden shed and not too bothered about behaving like an adult. It's Rachel Tunnard's first feature film again with strong female roles including Jodie Whitaker (Broadchurch) in the main role.
This double film (FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!) is Keswick’s attempt to support up and coming directors.
Do get along to both if you can; some light comedy should be very welcome after the last few weeks!.
