From acting to behind the camera, Harry Macqueen’s follow-up to Hinterland (2014) is “a remarkable ode to the power and triumph of love, anchored by a pair of breathtaking performances,” according to Deadline. Supernova follows a couple of 20 years––Sam and Tusker. Since Tusker was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, their lives have had to change, and seeing friends and family and revisiting memories are their most precious principals now. Starring Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth as Tusker and Sam, Supernova had its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
