Alexandra McGuinness's Lotus Eaters is to have its World Premiere as part of the 'Viewpoints' strand at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. 'Viewpoints' offers a snapshot of international independent cinema that immerses audiences in distinctive perspectives. Tribeca runs from April 20 – May 1.
Lotus Eaters was mostly shot in London with some Irish location work in Wicklow and Westmeath. It is co-written by McGuinness with Brendan Grant and co-produced by Fastnet Films who received €100,000 for the film from the Irish Film Board last August.
From the Tribeca press release which credits Lotus Eaters as a UK film: The bright young things of London’s social elite lead an existence as languorous and lavish as it is self-destructive. At the center is Alice, a stunning ex-model unable to keep up with the high standards of living her peers feverishly chase. Alexandra McGuinness’ directorial debut presents a contemporary black-and-white portrait of overlapping cliques of friends struggling to get their lives under control before they fall numb to it all.
