FAREWELL HAPPY FIELDS
DESCRIPTION
An intimate, unconventional portrait of anorexia and depression featuring award-winning author Fiona Wright. While recovering from depression, a young filmmaker challenges Fiona to express her experience with anorexia by performing one of her poems. As the pressure of the production takes its toll however, devastating memories are relieved which threaten to throw the entire project into disarray. Shot in stark black and white by acclaimed cinematographer Nathaniel Kelly, the short documentary has screened at countless international festivals.
