FAREWELL HAPPY FIELDS

DESCRIPTION

An intimate, unconventional portrait of anorexia and depression featuring celebrated Australian 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 film festivals.
