Rapidly making a name for herself in British cinema, perhaps most memorably as Nosebleed Woman in Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster, Jessica Barden is both a homegrown talent on the rise and a familiar face on the LSFF big screen. With blockbusters under her belt, such as Thomas Vinterberg’s Far From The Madding Crowd, 2014, and Joe Wright’s Hanna, 2011, here LSFF pays tribute to Barden as a veteran of short film.

Jessica Barden will join us on stage for a Q&A following the screening.
