Paws for Thought

Director: Rehana Rose

Year: 2018

An intimate portrait of those dealing with their dead, supported during the ritual of care after death by a team of women who are ‘giving death back to the people’. For nearly twenty years, a small team of women in Brighton have been changing the way people look after their dead. Supporting them to participate during the ritual of care after death and empowering all regardless of limited finances. Cara is passionate and believes in power to the people, challenging many of the accepted, traditional and often secretive ways of corporate funeral directors. This relatively unknown work is part of an emerging movement confronting the way death is approached in modern Britain. With extraordinary access, we follow three groups of people from the point of death of their loved one through to the ceremony.

An in-depth study of David Lean, the man and his films. David Lean was one of the greatest filmmakers. He redefined what films could be, but his singular vision and tenacious determination to film the impossible earned him a reputation as an obsessive maverick. He was a master of his craft, capable of creating love and beauty on screen, but whose personal life was often troubled, uprooted, and painful. Featuring interviews with contemporary filmmakers including Wes Anderson, Paul Greengrass, Alfonso Cuarón, Celine Song, Brady Corbet, Francis Ford Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, Nia DaCosta, and Joe Wright.
