ABOUT THE FILMS:

“Wasp”, 2003, Dir: Andrea Arnold, 26 Minutes, Kurzfilm Verleih, UK. 

In late summer, worker wasps can no longer find enough food to feed their larvae. That’s why they look for sweets. Although not particularly aggressive, they will sting if provoked. Starring Natalie Press as Zoe, a young mother of four struggling to start a relationship with old acquaintance Dave (Danny Dyer).

FORMAT: DCP

HOUSEKEEPING, 1987, Dir: Bill Forsyth, 116 Minutes, Sony Pictures Classics, USA. 

Ruth (Sara Walker) and Lucille (Andrea Burchill) are two young sisters who are abandoned by their mother and raised by a succession of aged relatives, until their unconventional aunt Sylvie (Christine Lahti) arrives like a breath of fresh air. Sylvie has been living on the road for many years, and her life is detached from the norms of the community; she returns home to bittersweet memories and the town’s harsh scrutiny. The girls are thrilled to have a charming young role model and Sylvie’s new responsibilities offer her a chance for real love, sharing a home, and a sense of family – all things she has not felt for a long time. Eventually, as Ruth and Lucille’s perceptions of Sylvie change, the two girls develop vastly different ways of relating to this eccentric, original woman.
