Making Up Amanda Rozzi Bazzani. A Cold Case Ballarat, 1988. ...
London Housing Estate Comedy
Resourceful and bold 12-year-old Georgie secretly lives by herself on the outskirts of Chigwell in East London after the death of her mother.
She survives on her wits and the wondrous friendship with her best mate Ali. Young Georgie gets into fights, nicks bikes and pretends to the social services, she lives with her uncle ‘Winston Churchill’.
Georgie’s precarious life is suddenly threatened when Jason, her father, arrives from Ibiza to move in.
The director wanted to make an ‘imperfect film that took risks’ and to give the kids control of the film. The sense of humour and charm of Georgie’s flights of fantasy elevate this debut film above others. The gentleness of the growing connection between Jason and Gorgie gives Scrapper a distinct warmth and is just the sort of film to launch our 2024 program. Madman.
UK, 2023, 84 min.
Directed by 29-year-old Charlotte Regan as her debut film.
Stars: Lola Campbell, Harris Dickinson and Alin Uzan.
