CLOSE
Short Films: Close shown with Fridge (cert 15)
Sunday 15 May, 18:30 (£5)Pollokshaws Burgh Hall
Gary Lewis will introduce and talk about these two short films made in Govanhill in the 1990s, written and directed by Peter Mullan to be screened at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall.
In Close, Vincent has recently become a father and is preparing the house for his newborn daughter's homecoming. His joy and excitement, however, turn into something darker when one of his neighbours (a sad, drunken man whose own children have recently thrown him out of the house) suggests a sordid future for both Vincent and his child. Something inside him snaps and he embarks on a pyschotic mission of 'close cleansing'.
