The March Filmdation is on Friday 12th March.

The film choice is Fish Tank, a 2009 British drama directed by Andrea Arnold.  The film is chosen by Rob Telford.

Mia, a volatile 15-year-old, lives on an Essex council estate with her single mother Joanne, and younger sister Tyler. Neglected by her frequently drunk mother, Mia is a loner, and is seen fighting with the other girls who live nearby- one of whom she headbutts in the nose. Excluded from school, she is frequently in trouble with the authorities and spends a lot of her time drinking alcohol procured from older kids on her estate. It is clear 11 year old Tyler, who drinks and smokes, is going the same way. Mia’s only outlet is street dancing, which she practices alone in a deserted flat.

The film has been nominated for this year’s BAFTA Awards in the categry of Outstanding British Film and has received many positive critical reviews.

Location: Tim’s place. If you need the address and/or directions, contact Rob on the email address under “Contact”.

Turn up any time from 7:45pm (we’ll start the film a bit after 8pm).  Bring something to drink and/or munchies.
