Asylum has been traveling quite a bit over the last few months. Being shown (and even picking up the odd price) at welcoming festivals in Berlin, Kolkata, Rome, Chennai, Los Angeles and New York. The newest news is from Glasgow. From the wonderful Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. Where Jefta will be accepting an award in person. (updated with picture as proof!)
We even – fi nal ly – subtitled the teaser to celebrate the news. Interested in a viewing copy with English subtitles, send us an email.
“‘I wake up at three o’clock at night. I open the window, I step on to the window sill. Everything looks white. It’s February. I must break my neck. I must.’ A voice in David Brown’s head left him with an ultimatum: kill his brother or jump from the fourth floor. David chose to plummet and, consequently, spends his life between countless psychiatric facilities. From an ultra-subjective perspective, Asylum depicts David’s hospitalization and his attempts to climb out of his depression, with him using his musicality and enduring humor.”
