ANOTHER AROUND
Dir. Thomas Vinterberg Cert 12A 116 mins Denmark | 2020
Winner of the Oscar for Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards and winner of the Best Film Not in the English Language at the 74th British Academy Film Awards.
There is an obscure philosophical theory that humans should have been born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood; that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing problems and increasing creativity.
The film tackles the subject of alcohol abuse, but please be aware that if scenes of alcohol consumption are a trigger for you, then please only join us for the Q&A session afterwards at 9 pm (free entry)
After the screening, there will be a Q&A session about addiction and mental health with Toni Mason from TLM Counseling Services. Toni has nine years of experience and knowledge on various issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance misuse, mental health, and physical health. http://tlmcounsellingservices.com
