Screening of the documentary 'All Rivers Spill Their Stories to the Sea' followed by a Q&A with its filmmaker, Jeanie Finlay.
QUAD is screening All Rivers Spill Their Stories to the Sea on Friday 4 December, with the filmmaker Jeanie Finlay staying on afterwards for a Q&A. It's a 12A, so it's fine for a younger crowd if you're bringing the family along.
The film opens on a small North East fishing town devastated by a tidemark of poisoned crabs and lobsters. From there it follows veteran fisherman Stan Rennie on a turbulent quest for answers, told with gallows humour and a strong local accent. The Observer called it 'an excellent, enraging documentary', and the Q&A gives you a chance to pick up the threads once the credits roll. Finlay will be joined by QUAD CEO Eleanor Thornley, who'll be hosting the conversation.
Finlay is an East Midlands filmmaker, and this is one of several documentaries she's put out over the years. Her previous work includes Sound It Out, The Great Hip Hop Hoax and Your Fat Friend, so if you've caught any of those, you'll have a good sense of the kind of thing she does. This one takes her to the North East coast, and the Q&A is a good way to hear how it came together.
