Aftersun (12A) + ScreenTalk with director Charlotte Wells

A father and daughter sit nicely together

Paul Mescal sparkles as idealistic father Calum, whose holiday with daughter Sophie triggers bittersweet memories 20-years later. Followed by a ScreenTalk with director Charlotte Wells.

Paul Mescal (Normal People) stars opposite Frankie Corio in this cross-generational tale of a daughter and the cherished memory of the holiday she shared with her father 20-years ago. Away from Sophie’s doting gaze, father Calum struggles with the challenges of life outside of his parental responsibilities. 

As time passes, the memory of their shared time together on the resort only gains in resonance, in this critically acclaimed directorial debut from writer/director Charlotte Wells. We are delighted to have Charlotte Wells in conversation with film critic Guy Lodge after the film.
