REFUGEE WEEK: DRIFT SCREENING

London Breeze presents Drift, in support of Refugee Week. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with screenwriter, Susanne Farrell (Hope Street; Dirty God) and PopChange Producer Ornella on the panel.

Drift is the first English language feature film from Singaporean director, Anthony Chen (ILO ILO; Wet Season), from a screenplay by Susanne Farrell and Alexander Maksik. It is based on the novel A Marker to Measure Drift by Maksik

Jacqueline (Cynthia Erivo), a young refugee, lands alone and penniless on a Greek island, where she tries first to survive and then to cope with her past. While gathering her strength, she begins a friendship with a rootless tour-guide (Alia Shawkat) and together they find the resilience to forge ahead. Drift also features Honor Swinton Byrne (The Souvenir I, The Souvenir II).
