SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
dir: Georgia Oakley
with Daisy Edgar Jones, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Fiona Shaw
UK/USA | 131 min | cert. PG
When the Dashwood sisters are left financially vulnerable after their father’s death, they must navigate the strict social conventions of Regency England while searching for love and security. Practical, reserved Elinor and passionate, impulsive Marianne approach life and romance in very different ways, but each is forced to confront heartbreak, sacrifice, and the limits placed on women of their time.
Directed by Georgia Oakley and adapted by Diana Reid from Jane Austen’s classic novel, Sense and Sensibility is a fresh and emotionally resonant exploration of love, sisterhood, and resilience.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Grace Snell, who will discuss her work and share insights into the creative process behind the costumes.
