Herself Herself

Director: Phyllida Lloyd

Year: 2020

Sandra (Dunne), on the surface of it, is a young Mum struggling to provide her two young daughters with a warm, safe, happy home to grow up in. Beneath the surface, Sandra has a steely determination to change their lives for the better and when it becomes clear that the local council won’t provide that home, she decides to build it herself from scratch.<br /> With very little income to speak of and no savings, Sandra must use all her ingenuity to make her ambitious dream a reality. At the same time, she must escape the grip of her possessive ex-husband and keep him away from her and her girls. The lionhearted Sandra draws together a community of friends to support her and lend a helping hand and it is the kindness and generosity of these people and the love of her young daughters that help rebuild her own strength and sense of self.<br /> Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2020 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2020

Julius Caesar Julius Caesar

Director: Phyllida Lloyd

Year: 2017

'Julius Caesar' depicts the catastrophic consequences of a political leader's extension of his powers beyond the remit of the constitution. As Brutus (played by Harriet Walter) wrestles with his moral conscience over the assassination of Julius Caesar (as played by Jackie Clune), Mark Antony (Jade Anouka) manipulates the crowd through his subtle and incendiary rhetoric to frenzied mob violence.<br /> Described by The Observer as "One of the most important theatrical events of the past twenty years", this event cinema production by the Donmar Warehouse is the first part of Phyllida Lloyd's 'Shakespeare Trilogy'.<br /> Edinburgh International FIlm Festival 2017 - World premiere
