London Cinema Premiere
Emily Wardill's Fulll
Firearms
Thursday 26 April 2012
Written and directed by
award-winning artist and filmmaker Emily Wardill, Fulll Firearms
presents the story of Imelda, a woman haunted by the victims of the guns
sold by her father's company. Imelda uses her inheritance to build a house
for the ghosts to inhabit. When squatters move in, she is convinced these
are the ghosts who have been haunting her. Conveying themes of displacement
and storytelling, Wardill's film examines conditions of precariousness in
society and how these affect people's relationships with each other.
