The Scottish helmer has already won accolades for her short films, and she is developing feature “The Flaming Heart.” HanWay reps worldwide rights to “A Banquet,” which will be released by IFC Midnight in the U.S. In the film, widowed mother Holly is pushed to the limit when her teenage daughter Betsey experiences a supernatural enlightenment, and insists that her body is no longer her own but in service to a higher power.
The textures in the film were so visceral: the surfaces of the house, the clothes, and especially the food. I’m really glad to hear that … the textures registered because that’s a huge part of what I get excited about when I’m going to direct something — I’m always banging on about texture. The way we treat food — it’s kind of this, this food-porn-slash-body-type vibe going on. So I was equally inspired by the photography from “The Chef’s Table” as I was from [David] Cronenberg.
