This opening-night screening will be followed by a Q&A with writer-director Luna Carmoon and producer Helen Simmons.

1984, London: 7-year-old Maria and her mother live in their own loving world built on sorting through bins and collecting shiny rubbish. One night, their world falls apart, and we join Maria a decade later, living with her foster mother. An older stranger, Michael, then enters their home, opening the door to past trauma, magic and madness…

“Luna Carmoon’s debut feature about the daughter of a hoarder comes home bearing prizes, after premiering at the Venice Film Festival, announcing a young British talent capable of blending realism with surrealism to create a vivid personal language that defies simple interpretations.” – 4 stars, Sophie Monks Kaufman, Time Out.

“Luna Carmoon’s deeply strange and compelling study of hysteria shows the ways in which childhood trauma can bloom in adult life” – 4 stars, Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian.

F-Rated: Written and directed by Luna Carmoon
