Film adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir. A young woman finds herself washed up back home on the Scottish archipelago of Orkney. She has no idea how or if she can rebuild her life after a decade of addiction. Flashing back and forth between Orkney and London, we get a glimpse into her former urban existence and its intoxicating temptations that pushed her to the point of destruction. She must find a way to navigate the alluring wildlife and wildness of both environments. Smith's urgent retelling speaks to the impact of isolation and loneliness and – ultimately – the resilience of people.

Finding Vivian Maier is the critically acclaimed documentary about a mysterious nanny, who over the course of five decades, secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers. Vivian would further indulge in her passionate devotion to documenting the world around her through homemade films, recordings and collections, assembling one of the most fascinating windows into American life in the second half of the twentieth century.

Maier was an inveterate wanderer and self-taught photographer with an artful and comic eye and an uncanny ability to get close to people from all walks of life. Would Maier have even wanted to be discovered in this way? Answering that question depends on how you interpret different bits of evidence in this film. However, seeing the world through Vivian Maier’s eyes is a real wonder.
