Bay Short Film Festival - Barrow Screening
THE SPACE BETWEEN US
Eight films about the people we reach for and the connections that almost catch us. A grouchy owl learns to share his home, a woman reinvents herself nightly chasing a stranger, a mother and daughter mend what grief has broken. With stories from the UK, Canada, Bulgaria, Spain, and the United States, the programme travels from a Maine shoreline to a Spanish meditation on mortality, before landing somewhere closer to home with a shop worker whose ordinary day takes the strangest turn imaginable. Quietly emotional and full of unexpected warmth.
Doors open at 12.30pm - the screening starts at 1pm.
