Alcarràs

The following screenings will be followed by a 20min recorded Q&A with director Carla Simón: Fri 20 January, 20:15 and Tue 24 January, 20:15

Carla Simón, who is quickly becoming one of our favourite new directors after her debut feature, Summer 1993, blew us away back in 2017, returns with her second feature, Alcarràs. 

"...a rift within the large tight-knit family."

The film, which won the Golden Bear at Berlinale earlier this year, concentrates on the Solé family, who have spent every summer picking the peaches from their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain. But this year's crop could be their last, as they face eviction. The new plans for the land include cutting down the peach trees and installing solar panels, which causes a rift within the large, tight-knit family. For the first time, they face an uncertain future and risk losing more than their home.
