Pretty Babies
nb. This event takes place at different venues or in different spaces for different performances.
Two young girls flee their hometown drawn by the seductive promise of the Hollywood they imagine from the old classics they idolise. Embarking on a road trip for which they are ill-equipped, the American dream soon fractures as they encounter the dark underbelly of the sex industry and the fabric of their friendship starts to unravel. Tyler Marie-Evans’ stylish, melancholic and jaggedly beautiful debut feature is a compelling, female-centred portrait of vulnerability and disillusionment in a world of artifice. Featuring standout performances, a haunting soundtrack and a bold visual style, this film signals an exciting new voice in cinema.- Emma Boa
