Still from Professor Virginia Heath’s Lift Share<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

In\u00a0Lift Share<\/em>, two strangers meet through an online lift share website: a young Romanian woman in desperate search of a child that was forcibly taken from her and a Scottish musician returning to the Isle of Harris to face up to the death of his violent, estranged father. \u00a0As they drive through the Scottish Highlands, the film moves between present and future time frames as each character imagines what they might do when they reach the Outer Hebrides.\u00a0 Alone with their fears, the\u00a0haunting beauty of the remote Islands helps them\u00a0find escape from their past pain. The comfort that only strangers can bring enables them to share a moment of hope for the future.<\/p>\n

The film was made with support from\u00a0Creative Scotland<\/a>,\u00a0BFI.NETWORK<\/a>,\u00a0Scottish Film Talent Network<\/a>, An Comhairle (Western Isles Council),\u00a0Faction North<\/a>, Kolik Films and the Art & Design Research Centre (ADRC<\/a>) at Sheffield Hallam University.<\/p>\n
