The Maiden - Film Screening

About The Maiden - Film Screening

UK PREMIERE

Screened for the first time for a UK audience, Canadian filmmaker Graham Foy’s directorial debut The Maiden pulls inspiration from the underground world of graffiti, skate culture and the films of Gus Van Sant, Harmony Korine and Terrence Malick for a haunting portrayal of grief and teenage isolation. In a developing Calgary suburb, a tragic accident takes the life of a young tagger. As his friend and accomplice, Colton, struggles to process the loss, their story entangles with that of a local missing girl.

Featuring ghostly 16mm cinematography, an endearing cast of non-actors and a puzzle-like final act, The Maiden is a hidden gem of 2020s Canadian cinema.

“An intensely atmospheric meditation on friendship, grief and the pains and wonders of being an adolescent outsider, The Maiden is a haunting work that announces the arrival of a startling new talent.” (The Globe and Mail)

Join us for weekly screenings, celebrating films that are international, experimental, arthouse, trash, cult, a little bit strange, and maybe otherwise hard to see on the big screen.

Each screening will be introduced by a member of the Leith Kino collective and, importantly, there will be free (vegan) popcorn.

Drinks and refreshments are available to purchase at the Depot bar, alongside our monthly posters, each designed by a different Leith-based artist.
