“Somewhere between All of Us Strangers and Black Mirror, this quietly cosmic British gem is one of the year’s most unexpected love stories.” Jordan is a 30-something and facing terminal cancer, but then he meets Danny. All seems well but there’s a catch; Danny swears it’s 2005, and he’s dying too. Directed by Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Neil Ely, featuring Siobhan Finneran and a raw, heartbreaking lead duo, Chatlines weaves queer romance, Northern grit, and time-bending tenderness into something that stays with you long after. 📅 SAT 16 MAY 🕧 6.55 PM 📍 @richmixlondon Tickets are available at the link in our bio 🔗

“A raw, wry & confrontingly honest look at the pleasures & pains of contemporary British gay life as it converges with low self-esteem & toxic masculinity.” “Queer As Folk creator @russelltdavies63 has championed this bold & ambitious, fiercely independent feature, which lives in a similar world geographically, socially & tonally to his groundbreaking original series, first broadcast in the UK in 1999. “Who doesn’t love a 90s flashback?” Asks Departures’ Northern gay thirtysomething protagonist, Benji (Lloyd Eyre-Morgan, who also wrote & co-directed the film with frequent collaborator Neil Ely), at one point during his vulnerable yet propulsive voice over. He would probably get along well with Queer As Folk’s self-deprecating fellow Mancunian central character Vince Tyler, portrayed by Craig Kelly.” “Departures itself, while feeling fresh & of-the-moment, certainly has a 90s indie vibe to it, recalling early work by Danny Boyle like Shallow Grave & Trainspotting stylistically, while the filmmakers forge their own distinctive appraoch.” “Despite the heavy themes it deals with, Departures is an entertaining watch. Through the film’s dark humour & vivid characters, emerges a cathartic & ultimately hopeful tale of breaking through trauma.” Head to TheQueerReview.com to read @jameskleinmann ’s full ★★★★ review of @neil_ely & @lemfilms ’s @departuresfilmuk starring Eyre-Morgan & @davidtagofficial now playing in New York @ifccenter from @strandreleasing . 📸 @strandreleasing #departuresfilm #queercinema #gayfilm #gayfilmmaker #thequeerreview

BIFA longlisted feature ‘Departures’ - out at cinemas nationwide NOW! Shot on about every format you can imagine. 35mm // 16mm // Alexa LF // iPhone and FX3. These following frames were all shot with rehoused Canon FD lenses from TLS. During testing we loved the warmer tones, especially on the 35 / 45x and 55. In the flash back scenes we pushed them a little harder to gain some natural softness. Grip provided by @panavisionofficial and lighting by @drop_city_ltd and @knowled_global additional lenses from @media_dog_hire
