Father's Secret + Floating Balloon

This program features a double bill of Lynne Ramsay's short film "Gasman" and her feature debut "Ratcatcher." "Gasman" captures a child's first glimpse into adult complexities through a festive outing gone awry, winner of the Cannes Jury Prize for Short Film. "Ratcatcher" poetically follows a 12-year-old boy haunted by a secret in 1970s Glasgow, showcasing Ramsay's distinctive audio-visual style and lyrical approach to childhood trauma. Together, they offer a profound look at memory, guilt, and disillusionment through masterful, sensory-driven storytelling.
