As part of Dying Matters week, local hospice, Martlets will be screening the acclaimed documentary - Island by Director Steven Eastwood. Island - Across the water on the island, four individuals experience the year in which their lives will end. Illness progresses, relationships gently shift, and we are witness to rarely seen and intensely private moments. Filmed over 12 months on the Isle of Wight, Island is a life-affirming reflection on the phenomena of dying, portraying the transition away from personhood and observing the last days and hours of life and the moment of death. Like the ferries cyclically arriving and departing in this an enigmatic landscape, the film appears buoyant, afloat. Death is shown to be natural and everyday but also unspeakable and strange.The screening will be followed by a Q&A session.British Independent Film Award Best Documentary Nominee " The Sunday Times " The GuardianAll profits from the screening will be directed to Martlets, providing hospice care across the Brighton and Hove community.
