"Much Ado About Dying" Screening and Discussion - UistFilm

In partnership with Cosmic Cat Films, Good Death, Good Grief and UistFilm

Friday 17th May, 7pm

Carinish Hall, Lochmaddy, Uist

This event is open to the public.

On Friday 17th May, UistFilm are teaming up with Cosmic Cat Films and Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief to screen the new film "Much Ado About Dying" in honour of Demystifying Death Week. The screening includes a discussion and refreshments.

The film is a gloriously eccentric and thought provoking look at what it means to live. The award-winning documentary follows long-retired actor David Newlyn Gale, living in an unsuitable flat, sustaining himself on cans of soup, keeping himself warm with a small army of electric heaters and battling a mice infestation with toothpaste. The film presents an intimate, occasionally funny and ultimately moving portrait of a solitary life and a quietly critical assessment of the inadequate resources available in the UK for a rapidly ageing population. 

A partnership between Cinema For All, Cosmic Cat Films and Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief will bring the new film to community cinemas across Scotland during Demystifying Death Week. From Tiree to Findhorn, remote and rural cinemas across Scotland are holding discussion screenings of the new film. 

A full list of screenings is available here.
