The Selfish Giant

Directed by Clio Barnard

Clio Barnard’s powerful follow-up to The Arbor is an intense social realist film about 13-year-old Arbor and his best mate Swifty. Excluded from school and outsiders in their own neighbourhood, the two boys progress from bunking-off school to stealing copper, when influenced by local scrap merchant Kitten.
