Blow-Up

Synopsis

Successful London photographer Thomas spends his time photographing beautiful fashion models. But one day whilst casually snapping an intimate couple in the park, he thinks he may have photographed something far more sinister: a murder. After developing the photos, Thomas is horrified to find an ambiguous image lurking on the edge of the frame, which could be a shadow, but looks like a gun. The only thing clear is that Jane, the woman in the photo, has appeared at his studio and wants the pictures he took.

Brave as whiskey Bold as brass A laugh like a bell And a warmth unmatched, built hearth upon hearth Your house rumbles Excerpt - 'The Public House Rumbles' by Alexandra Ewing Shot in the single location of a Glaswegian pub, PUBLIC HOUSE is a sequence of vignettes, some characters recurring and others not, just like real life. A myriad of eccentric and troubled souls pass through, looking for a drink, solace, a conversation, someone to love, an audience, sex, an explanation, revenge, or just a place to be. The film delves deeper than the sum of it’s parts, asking existential questions. How did we end up here? Why do we do what we do? Should we try something else? Ultimately the film is about committing to something. To an idea, a place, an affair, grief, a philosophy, family, a tall tale, loss, love, a joke, a friend or simply trying to make it through the day.
