The House Within
(TBC)
The House Within is a documentary film on the internationally celebrated New Zealand writer Dame Fiona Kidman (Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Chevalier of the French Legion of Honour). It examines the way in which life and fiction collide and how, with time, they become inescapably braided together. The film paints an intimate portrait of Fiona’s fascinating and often tumultuous life. It probes the inner world of a truly maverick writer who has overcome innumerable obstacles to establish her voice, and place, in the world of literature on a global scale. Fiona speaks for the first time about the private pains and losses in her life and art, and how these experiences were fundamental to the creation of the fictional worlds which have moved us so deeply.
Friendship
(TBC)
Suburban dad Craig falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, but Craig's attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives.
