Hoard (18)

UK | 2023 | 126’ | 18 | Luna Carmoon | Joseph Quinn, Saura Lightfoot-Leon

Seven-year-old Maria’s South East London childhood with her mother Cynthia, an obsessive hoarder, feels sparkling and magical until tragedy separates them and Maria enters a more conventional world. Years later, the now-teenage Mariaseeks to reconnect with her mother the only way she knows how – bin-dipping for discarded treasures and collecting black bags full of festering garbage. When she meets Michael, another troubled teen, they develop an intense and animalistic bond. Carmoon’s audacious, bracingly unusual feature debut announces her as a talent to watch. Powered by committed performances from its terrific cast, it tells a fierce, uncompromising and emotional story about a young woman’s burgeoning sexuality and her queasy reckoning with grief and a traumatic past.

As part of Chapter's collaboration with PYST x Lŵp we are screening music videos before films. The next one is the video for BERIAN's debut single DSD, which will be played before each screening of Hoard
