UK PREMIERE Matt and Mara
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Matt and Mara, dir. Kazik Radwanski, Canada 2024, 80 min., English


A chance encounter leads Mara (Deragh Campbell), a young creative writing professor, to reunite with Matt (Matt Johnson), a charismatic, free-spirited author from her past who wanders onto her university campus. Bonded by their shared interests, the two begin to grow closer as she contends with her strained marriage to an experimental musician. When her husband suddenly cancels plans to drive Mara to a conference out of town, Matt accompanies her on the road trip, where pressure slowly mounts against their undefined relationship.

In his fourth feature, Canadian filmmaker Kazik Radwanski crafts a subtle modern day romance filled with humour, featuring two outstanding performances from Deragh Campbell and Matt Johnson.

The UK Premiere on Thursday 24 October will be followed by an in-person Q&A with filmmaker Kazik Radwanski, hosted by ICA Film Programmer and Programme Coordinator Daniel Turner.
