An individual’s path to recovery will be the subject of a film being shown in Kington.

The Outrun will be screened at The Old Picture House in Kington on Saturday, February 8 at 7.30pm.

Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) is superb as a young woman grappling with addiction in Nora Fingscheidt’s (System Crasher) The Outrun, based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot.

 Fresh out of rehab, Rona (Ronan) returns home to the wild, beautiful Orkney Islands. After over a decade in London, where she both found and lost love, and where her life was derailed by alcoholism, Rona, now 30, attempts for the first time to reconcile with her traumatic past amidst the majestic landscape of her youth, surrounded by ferocious gales and a stormy sea. Both visceral and delicate, The Outrun is a moving and complex portrait of one individual’s path to recovery, and of a troubled mind seeking to heal.

The film will run for 118 minutes and there will be an interval.

Tickets are £6.50 and to book or for more information call 07855 254590
