NORMAN/NORMAN

View trailer: CLICK HERE

A raw exploration of trauma and reckoning, Norman/Norman (2024) tackles themes of domestic and gun violence, as well as their aftermath, using a personal storyline. After witnessing the brutal M**der of his mother 30 years ago, Norman travels to Jamaica to piece together what happened and where he came from by confronting the murderer: his father.

Directors Gabrielle Blackwood and Charles Warburton approach the heavy subject matter with a sense of hope, and their use of intimately-framed visual language testifies to their commitment to a respectful and poignant filmmaking practice. In their own words, this is not a crime story, but one of a man in search of understanding.

The screening begins at 7pm with a Q&A with Norman afterwards.
