Oona, a young woman dealing with the loss of her mother, reaches out to a stranger: Mani, a mysterious homeless man of Middle-Eastern origin, whom she invites to stay in the garden shed on her property. Despite the space between them, Oona and Mani gradually form an unusual bond.
Stranger Things is the first feature by Eleanor Burke and Ron Eyal. Shot in Sussex on the south coast of England, the film was created using untraditional methods. The filmmakers collaborated closely with the actors to build their characters and back-stories, and only revealed the portions of the plot to them gradually during the shoot. The result is compelling and unusually intimate film, which explores themes of grief, friendship and human vulnerability.
Stranger Things is this year’s Slamdance Grand Jury Prize winner. The film also won the Grand Jury Prizes at the Woodstock Film Festival and at the Lighthouse Film Festival, and the filmmakers received the Best Director Award at the Phoenix Film Festival.
