STEPHEN: A Film by Melanie Manchot + Q&A

12 March @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

£4.00

Artist Melanie Manchot’s debut feature is a visually striking film-within-a-film, exploring mental health and addiction.

Followed by a Q&A with Melanie Manchot and Lena Theodoropoulou (Lecturer in Public Health, University of Liverpool).

“Blurs the lines between facts and fiction to examine addiction and recovery.” Liverpool Biennial

“Visually striking… A reminder of how dextrous the documentary form can be.” Sheffield Doc Fest

STEPHEN, the acclaimed hybrid fiction/documentary by artist and filmmaker Melanie Manchot, offers a compelling and deeply human exploration of identity, recovery, mental health and the blurred boundaries between performance and lived experience.

Centred on Stephen Giddings both a real person and the protagonist he portrays, the film follows his transformative journey as he auditions to play a version of himself, navigating themes of addiction, trauma, and self‑understanding.

Through a blend of scripted drama, observational footage, and interviews, Manchot constructs a layered narrative in which fiction and reality continually fold into one another.
