Marjorie Prime

In the near future, a time of artificial intelligence: 86-year-old Marjorie (Lois Smith) a jumble of disparate, fading memories has a handsome new companion (Jon Hamm) that looks exactly like her deceased husband Walter.

This is a Prime, a holographic simulation programmed by Marjorie’s daughter (Geena Davis) and her husband Jon (Tim Robbins) to feed the story of her life back to her. But as their interactions develop it becomes clear that each of them has a very complex relationship with their shared histories, with each other, and with this new technology they’ve invited into their home.

Based on Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer-nominated play, Marjorie Prime is an exquisite exploration of memory and identity featuring stellar performances from its all-star cast.

Independent Visions is a regular film night championing modern independent North American cinema.

Working in partnership with Brighton-based film distributors, Bulldog we will bring you monthly screenings showcasing the newest must-sees as well as the recent greats and cult hits you might have missed.

Each film screening will be hosted by Philip Hoile, charismatic cinephile and independent film expert, and include on-stage or zoom intros or interviews with these contemporary filmmakers destined to become the indie auteurs of the future - plus attendees have the chance of getting their hands on free merch and posters!
