About the event
The Outrun is a brutally honest drama about addiction and recovery, strength and survival, mental health and the ability of the sea, the land and of people to restore life and renew hope.
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and - one day at a time - Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.
The film stars four-time Oscar-nominee Saoirse Ronan, alongside Paapa Essiedu, Saskia Reeves and Stephen Dillane, and was highly rated at this year's Edinburgh Film Festival. It's directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay written jointly by her and Amy Liptrot.
