Evelyn

  • 100 mins
  • Dir: Orlando von Einsiedel
  • Cert: 12A

The screening on Saturday 9 Feb at 3pm will be followed by a Q&A with director Orlando von Einsiedel.

Evelyn documents the story of a family overcoming the unthinkable. On a walking odyssey across the United Kingdom, they confront a past they’ve been unable to talk about, whilst simultaneously repairing the fractures in their own relationships.

Director Orlando von Einsiedel turns the cameras on himself as he, his parents and his siblings embark on a journey in remembrance of their brother and son, Evelyn, who took his own life over a decade ago.

Part quest film, part road-trip, part memoir, Evelyn seeks to address the past, in order to find some peace in the present, and look to the future.

Evelyn deals with themes of suicide and loss. If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this film, help is available. Contact the Samaritans or CALM for more information and support.
