Helen is the debut feature by award-winning short film directors Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor and has been selected to be part of both the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the Sydney Film Festival.

An 18 year old girl called Joy has gone missing. Helen is asked to ‘play’ Joy in a police reconstruction of the missing girl’s last moments but gradually immerses herself into the role, quietly and carefully insinuating her way into the lost girl’s life.

Although the film can’t be seen by the public until after the competitions, you can see a special preview on Thursday 29 May thanks to Screen WM and as part of the Fierce Festival. Fierce are inviting you to come and have a glass of bubbly, enjoy the screening and meet the people behind the film.

Drinks at 6pm, screening at 6.30pm. This one’s a bit special so put your glad rags on.

Tickets are free but you’ll need to call 0121 244 8080 to book your place.
