Preview: Is There Anybody Out There? + Q&a

Ella Glendining begins her documentary on a quest: seeking other people who share her rare disability. From her base in Brighton, she scans Facebook groups and plans flights. But pretty soon a global pandemic, pregnancy, and life get in the way. Mixing gorgeous use of home movies and insightful chat with friends, this smart and engaging documentary asks many questions of inclusion, just as it illuminates the way we seek ourselves in others. –EIFF

Director Ella Glendining joins us for a Q&A after the film, hosted by the BFI’s Mia Bays.
