Director: Richard Linklater, 2014 (166mins)

No stranger to episodic filmmaking, Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight) succeeds brilliantly in following a boy’s life from the ages of six to 18, shooting periodically over 12 years.

Ellar Coltrane plays Mason, the son of Mason Snr and Olivia (Linklater regulars Hawke and Arquette). As his divorced parents find new partners of varying suitability, Mason Jnr faces emotional and physical uncertainties with growing maturity.

In collaboration with Picturehouse at FACT. Showing as part of Summer at Picturehouse.
