Back

Unburied

When her homeless father suddenly dies, high-flying artistic director Eglė begins to hear voices that prophesy his violent return. Fearing for her life, Eglė solicits the help of an actress friend, and through role-play and ritual, they are drawn deeper and deeper into the torments of Eglė’s past.

Director's biography

Elvina Nevardauskaitė and David Heinemann

Elvina hails from Lithuania, and David from Canada. The two met in London and founded Broken Island Films. Together they have made three short films, a drama and two documentaries. While co-directing, Elvina takes charge of the image, and David the sound. They share a fascination with the ambiguities of human perception, particularly in relation to experiences of the inner life. Their latest film, Voices Apart, was honoured with a Research in Film Award 2020 by the UK-based Arts and Humanities Research Council.
