THE SOUVENIR - PART I
Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne), an aspiring filmmaker in the early 80s, embarks on her first serious love affair with Anthony (Tom Burke), a charismatic yet untrustworthy older man. Julie tries to disentangle fact from fiction as she surrenders to the relationship, which comes dangerously close to destroying her dreams.
Winner of Sundance 2019's Grand Jury Prize, The Souvenir is the compelling, semi-autobiographical drama from acclaimed writer-director Joanna Hogg (Unrelated, Archipelago, Exhibition).

THE SOUVENIR - PART II
In 1980s London, film student Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) is picking up the pieces in the aftermath of her disastrous relationship with the enigmatic Anthony (Tom Burke). As she painfully revaluates what she understood about their life together, she throws herself into her graduation film, using it as a tool to intimately process her grief. Beautifully expanding on Julie’s personal and creative coming-of-age journey, The Souvenir Part II is an exquisite, sensational concluding chapter that also stands alone as a singular piece.
