Focus on Andrea Arnold

Andrea Arnold’s cinema exists on the margins of the Hollywood paradigm of 'normal', and in the shadowy locations that mainstream cinema often skirts around, rarely allowing audiences access to.

From council flats in Essex to a dairy farm outside of the view of consumers, Andrea Arnold’s camera is there, capturing transient characters that 'normal' people from the suburbs might blink and miss. Arnold tells stories with a deeply humanistic and compassionate perspective that places her adjacent to directors like Ken Loach and Agnès Varda – excellent company to keep.

Celebrate the masterful cinema of Andrea Arnold and the ways it illuminates the shadowy corners of an otherwise homogeneous cinematic landscape.
