The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth (2016 Stefan Georgiou)

A wonderful reinvention of part of William Boyd's novella of the same name, beautifully reimagined for the screen in 15 minute short. There's no internal dialogue but we can see what she's thinking - thus her budding career as a photographer is shown by the book of hers in front of her, the number of months left literally count down, her journey to Japan becomes cold and boring.


Lucy Boynton (Sing Street, Endeavour, Murder on the Orient Express, Bohemian Rhapsody, Lewis) is great in the title role. Jack Lowden (The Long Song) is the barman.

  1. Do you know where I can see the film? I'm finding this short film for almost two years.
