Showing at Firstsite Cinema – Stephen + Q&A with Director Melanie Manchot (TBC)!

Visually striking, Stephen is a startling record of the lives of people who deal with addictions and a reminder of how dextrous this documentary form can be.

Visual artist Melanie Manchot works with a recovery group in Liverpool, who take up roles in a semi-fictional film-within-a-film that explores addiction and mental health from multiple perspectives.

It is centred around Stephen, a character recovering from gambling and alcohol addictions.

Following the film, there will be a Q&A with the film’s director Melanie Manchot, hosted by Michael Bernardin Lecturer, Undergraduate Drama and Course Director, MA Theatre Directing at the University of East Anglia.
