It’s 2020 and we’re in the midst of an unnamed pandemic . . . a scientist called Martin Lowery (played by Joel Fry) and park ranger Alma (Ellora Torchia) set out on a trek through the woods to deliver equipment to former colleague of Martin’s – Dr Olivia Wendle (played by Hayley Squires). Aware of the evil spirit – Parnag Fegg that lives in the forest, they decide to ignore it . . . big mistake!
The Human Voice
Filmed over nine days last year in Madrid . . . Almodóvar transforms Jean Cocteau’s short play The Human Voice. Tilda Swinton stomps around a beautiful apartment where the décor offers a view into her state of mind in this short, sharp shot of full on Almodóvar humour, passion, emotion & heartbreak. This is Almodóvar’s first short film in over 11 years, and his first to be made in English.
The Courier
