The Survivalist + Q&A Director

“Masterful... will shake you for days.” ***** Time Out New York

“Riveting... ‘Mad Max’ in the countryside.” Indiewire

What would you do if every stranger posed a threat to your very existence? Stephen Fingleton’s BAFTA­ nominated directorial debut The Survivalist (2015; cert. 18) is a gripping thriller set in a bleak but beautiful post­apocalyptic world. In a time of starvation where the only
option is kill or be killed, a survivalist lives off a small plot of land hidden deep in a forest. When two women seeking food and shelter discover his farm, he finds himself torn between suspicion and temptation.

With its unsettling raw soundtrack, stunning visuals and exceptional performances, this is a masterpiece by a true emerging talent. Followed by a Q&A with director Stephen Fingleton.

This event will be hosted in partnership with Wild In The City!, a local enterprise supporting wellbeing through connection to nature in London's green and wild spaces through bushcraft and a variety of nature awareness courses. Find out more: wildinthecity.org.uk
