Short film

Jill, Uncredited

2022 · 18 min

A quiet, wistful collage of fleeting screen moments that turns a lifetime of being unnoticed into something strangely moving and poetic.

Directed by: Anthony Ing
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Jill Goldston

Overview: Prolific background actor Jill Goldston takes centre stage in this unique portrait. Constructed entirely from Jill’s performances – captured fleetingly in everything from Mr. Bean to The Elephant Man – the film is a lyrical journey through popular culture, and a haunting study of a life lived out of focus.
