Greenwich Mean Time

Synopsis

When one of four close friends has a terrible accident, they are forced to confront their lives and hopes for the future. Dealing directly and intimately with their emotions and motivations, Greenwich Mean Time has a rare quality of honesty and punch, that fearlessly charts their path to adulthood as life works its complex magic upon them.


Greenwich Mean Time is a strong, uncompromising journey into some dark emotions, but essentially an uplifting film that stands clearly as an endorsement of life and love. It's a tale of courage in the face of adversity.


This is a story for the millennial generation, it's a story about life.

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
