The latest film from Viko Nikci takes us on an immersive journey, as a mother searches for her son while in the grips of the Catholic Church.
Produced by Samson Films and Welcome Home Productions, Cellar Door has already been well received by audiences and gained positive reviews at the Galway Film Fleadh.
The synopsis of the film reads: "CELLAR DOOR tells the story of young lover Aidie (Karan Hassan) as she searches for her son while in the grip of the Church. But as she gets closer to the truth, she suffers uncontrollable shifts in time and place that send her spiralling. With a unique point of view on a familiar trauma, CELLAR DOOR cuts deep into Aidie’s subjective experience."
"Something is forcing Aidie to relive the moments that led to her being institutionalised. Aidie must work out the mystery, break free from the cycle and find her son.
"At its core, CELLAR DOOR is an emotional, character driven story. At its surface, it is a physical manifestation of the state of Aidie’s mind. The film is the journey from that core to that surface. It is a subjective study of Aidie as she unravels the emotionally charged mystery of her life."
Cellar Door (which, for any Donnie Darko fans out there, it supposed to be the most sonically pleasing phrase in the English language) is in Select Cinemas January 25th. Find out more details here: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoor2019/
