Winner of the Doc/Fest Audience Award, Junior is a documentary on the generational divide between a mother and son, but trust us, you haven’t seen its likes before! 75-year old, previously hot-blooded Eddie Belasco moves in with his 98-year old Ma, the formidable Josephine, and the equally dynamic duo have to learn to co-habit. You will laugh with glee at the pair’s lovingly vicious ripostes across their domestic battlelines, and cry at the inevitable rite of passage one must suffer. Instantly accessible, the film - and Josephine and Eddie' magnetism - will win your brain and your heart. Imagine yourself and your own junior like this in 74 years time, yikes!
Jenna Rosher started out as a documentary producer, and during a trip to Senegal making the music doc Dave and Trey Go To Africa, found her passion for cinematography was leading her in new directions. Her first official cinematographer job was shooting the brilliant 2006 doc Jesus Camp; we look forward to what’s next!
Screening as part of the Birds Eye View Film Festival, 4-12 March.
