“Aftersun,” by Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells, will open the 75th Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF). The film, Wells’ feature debut after several acclaimed shorts, …
: “I wanted to explore a different period in that relationship, like a young father and his daughter on holiday. Even just visually having a young parent, like a young man and his daughter, it just felt like it could be something interesting and fun and compelling.”. Charades is selling the project globally.
Wells said: “As a teenager, I spent just about all the money I had saved each summer on tickets to EIFF, sitting on the floor at Fountainbridge in hour long queues for box office opening, leafing through the weighty program which offered my first exposure to independent and international cinema. In 2006, I bought tickets to the Duplass brothers’ ‘The Puffy Chair’ based on its inch-square picture and synopsis.
EIFF creative director Kristy Matheson added: “It means so much to have ‘Aftersun’ open our festival and celebrate a homegrown talent whose artistry is entirely international in its scope and appreciation. My heartfelt thanks to Charlotte and the whole ‘Aftersun’ team for sharing their film with us. After wowing Cannes Film Festival audiences and critics alike, I can’t wait for EIFF audiences to experience the journey that Charlotte and her incredible cast take us on together.
“Aftersun” is produced by Adele Romanski, Barry Jenkins and Mark Ceryak for Pastel and Amy Jackson for Unified Theory. It was financed by BBC Film, BFI and Screen Scotland, in association with Tango. Kogonada’s “After Yang,” which tells the story of a family who lose their A.I helper, and the profound feelings that the experience induces, will close the festival. The film, which debuted at Cannes 2021 and won an award at Sundance earlier this year, stars Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith.
