JAYWICK ESCAPES plus Q&A at Hackney
JAYWICK ESCAPES
Plus Q&A with directors Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie
Sunday 23 September, 14.00
The decaying seaside town of Jaywick casts a powerful spell over newcomers and long-standing residents alike. Despite being officially Britain's poorest place, Jaywick promises a fresh start, with sea views at bargain rents just a stone's throw from London. JAYWICK ESCAPES follows the lives of Jaywick newcomers, drifters whose reasons to escape here are revealed over a year's filming. At its heart is Nick, a reformed rogue from London. Recently widowed, he fulfils a long-held dream of moving to Jaywick, throwing himself into a new life here. But before long, and just as they have for the town itself, things seem to go very wrong.
We are delighted to welcome directors Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie for a Q&A following the screening.
