Talking With Angels
Producer: Janey de Nordwall
Director/Writer: Yousef Ali Khan
Synopsis: Set in 1970s Salford, amidst a forgotten landscape of decaying half demolished post war slums. With a mother suffering from schizophrenia, 10-year-old Alan takes upon himself the responsibility of holding his family together. He negotiates the two worlds his family inhabit: his mother’s vivid inner world occupied by demons and angels, and the stark reality of everyday life haunted by poverty and the ever-present threat of the social services splitting up his family.
Talking with Angels was nominated for the Best Short Film BAFTA and screened at 51 festivals worldwide, including Sundance, Sydney and Cork. It won a total of 13 awards.
