Premature (15)

When meticulous, career-obsessed Cameron (James Rottger) discovers his aimless flatmate Eilidh (Elle Watson) is pregnant after their drunken one-night stand, both assume there is an obvious way out. But when Eilidh finds she cannot go through with the termination, the pair are forced into an awkward, absurd and increasingly intimate attempt at preparing for parenthood.

As they stumble into something that looks suspiciously like a relationship, they begin to question the lives they thought they wanted and what they really mean to each other.

With recent coverage on BBC News Scotland, we are excited to bring this recently released Scottish rom-com to Carnegie Hall. As Jonathan Geddes wrote for the BBC – ‘Forget Notting Hill – we set our new rom-com in the East End of Glasgow’ – BBC News Scotland.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Kevin Walls.
