THE BOOK OF
DUST – LA BELLE
SAUVAGE
Recorded Screening
Written by Phillip
Pullman, adapted
by Bryony Lavery.
Directed by Nicholas
Hytner
Set twelve years before the
epic His Dark Materials trilogy,
this gripping adaptation
revisits Philip Pullman’s
fantastical world in which
waters are rising and storms
are brewing.
Two young people and their
dæmons, with everything at
stake, find themselves at the
centre of a terrifying manhunt.
In their care is a tiny child called
Lyra Belacqua, and in that
child lies the fate of the future.
And as the waters rise around
them, powerful adversaries
conspire for mastery of Dust:
salvation to some, the source
of infinite corruption to others.
Eighteen years after his
production of His Dark
Materials director Nicholas
Hytner returns to Pullman’s
parallel universe. Recorded at
London’s Bridge Theatre.

I AM BELMAYA
Cert 12
Directors: Sue
Carpenter, Belmaya
Nepali
In patriarchal Nepal, Belmaya,
at 21, has given up on finding
happiness. An uneducated
Dalit, with an oppressive
husband and baby daughter,
she yearns for independence.
Rewind to 2006, when she was
a rebellious teenager living
in a girls’ home. Grabbing the
chance to learn photography,
she wanted to change her
world. But the home locked
away her camera.
I Am Belmaya follows her
transformational journey
from 2014 as she once again
picks up the camera, this time
to train as a documentary
filmmaker. But are her husband
and community ready for this?
An inspirational and moving
tale of rebellion, courage and
hope, as Belmaya battles to
take charge of her story.
