About the event
Partly shot in the islands in summer 2022, '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 Orkney. 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. It's directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay by Amy Liptrot and Nora Fingscheidt.
