6/8: Film Screening: Frozen with Shirley Henderson June 8, 2007

Friday, June 8
Frozen

Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St. Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of Old Spaghetti Factory. 7:00 PM. Admission: $5.00.

Shirley Henderson ("Trainspotting," "Harry Potter," "Bridget Jones's Diary") plays Kath, a woman still haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her sister Annie two years earlier. When she steals a security camera videotape from the police that captures Annie’s last moments, Kath believes she finds a mysterious image on it. As she retraces Annie’s last steps, she has recurring visions of Annie in an otherworldly landscape. Whilst Kath becomes convinced that her sister is trying to reach her, those around her become increasingly skeptical of her claims.

So has Kath really found a way to access the afterlife. Or is she losing her grip on reality? And what exactly did happen to Annie?

Set in the stark beauty of Morecambe Bay, north west England, "Frozen" is a story about unresolved loss and the inherent danger of hope turning into obsession.

Breathtakingly stark cinematography further the feeling of coldness throughout and provide a beautifully bleak feel to the film.

Note: there are some fairly thick accents in this.

We are doing regular weekly film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - most are $5 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to time.
