Stephen (18) - Preview + Q&A with Melanie Manchot

Visual artist Melanie Manchot works with a recovery group in Liverpool, who take up roles in a semi-fictional film-within-a-film that explores addiction and mental health from multiple perspectives.

It is centred around Stephen, a character recovering from gambling and alcohol addictions.

References to the first police crime reconstruction, filmed in Liverpool in 1901, are a reminder that addiction has long existed within the fabric of our culture.

It’s a tough process and emotionally charged scenes reveal inner truths, which gain additional power when the people playing the roles are, in some sense, playing themselves.

Visually striking, Stephen is a startling record of this form of treatment and a reminder of how dextrous the documentary form can be.

This special preview screening as part of Recoverist Month will be followed by a Q&A with director Melanie Manchot.
