Life Illuminated

Synopsis

Often attacked by people unable to cope with his extreme disfigurement, Adam glimpses a path from isolation to social inclusion through his love of cinema. On a quest to become a new type of movie hero and wanting to reach out to others in adversity, Adam finds salvation when confronted with Ellie, a young girl who also dreams of being a star but who has to face the reality that she has the same genetic condition as him - NF1. As kindred spirits bound together by both their condition and their aspiration, Ellie and Adam search for a path forward towards a moment when they can truly press play on life.

All These Summers

Director: Therese Henningsen

Year: 2025

Driven by a recurring urge to encounter strangers with her camera, the filmmaker begins to film her solitary Greek Cypriot neighbour Pete in the tower block in London where they both live. Around the same time, her father in Denmark receives a cancer diagnosis requiring her to spend more time with him. As her father gradually slips back into the depression that made him absent when she was a teenager, she feels a need to document this transition. Her compulsion to enter into Pete’s life and to film him echoes with her desire for understanding her father’s experience of isolation and loneliness, as well as her own relationship to it. ALL THESE SUMMERS asks questions about responsibility in life and in film whilst intimately confronting the complexities of the daughter-father and filmmaker-subject relationship.
