This funny, authentic coming of age story is an intimate snapshot of the challenges and joys of teenage girlhood. Flic and Minna are best friends and high achievers at a British girls’ boarding school, fiercely focused on their futures and making it into the best possible university. Their intimate friendship and universe are challenged when they decide to become more “worldly” and embark on their big summer project to fall in love with the next person they see, who happens to be their geography teacher, Miss Delavigne. At first, they both treat this project as seriously as they do their academic pursuits. But as Flic and Minna take part in the school’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in partnership with a boys’ school, their love project is challenged. Are they still playing a game or are they now experiencing real feelings and facing the differences emerging between them? The confusion creates stress and tension in their friendship. Extra romantic, extra messy, extra funny, Extra Geography is a story of growing pains and teenage nostalgia that is as intimate as it is universal. Our screening of Extra Geography on Tuesday 29th September will be followed by a Q&A with guests Molly Manners (Director), Miriam Battye (Writer) and actors Marni Duggan and Galaxie Clear. The discussion with be hosted by Ella Bruccoleri (The Other Bennet Sister).
