Join us on International Women’s Day for this special screening of the film ‘Girl’. Filmed in Glasgow by a Glasgow-based female director, ‘Girl’ (2023) is written and directed by Adura Onashile and marks her feature debut. Adura will join us for a post-screening discussion.
About the film
In this coming of age drama, 11 year old Ama and her mother, Grace, take solace in the gentle but isolated world they obsessively create. As Ama grows up, she threatens the boundaries of their tenderness, and forces Grace to reckon with a past that she struggles to forget.
