Afterlife (New Found Films)
At the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2003

Afterlife is a beautifully crafted, delightfully scripted film from first time feature-film makers Gabriel Films.

Written by Andrea Gibb, directed by Alison Peebles and produced by Catherine Aitken, the film stars Kevin McKidd, Lindsay Duncan, Shirley Henderson and introducing newcomer Paula Sage.

The film is centred around a young determined, cut-throat journalist, Kenny (McKidd), who is on the verge of a major career breakthrough. His date with destiny and America, is interrupted by a trip home during Easter to visit his mother May (Duncan), after she suffers a fall and injures herself, and his sister Roberta (Sage) who has Downs Syndrome.

Two very different siblings. Two very different lives. But everything is about to change when tragedy strikes and they are forced to reassess their future lives.

Afterlife (World Premiere) Tuesday 19 August - 8.30pm at UGC Fountain Park, Dundee Street, Edinburgh, EH11.
