MASSIVE Presents: Last Swim + Filmmakers Q&A

An astute, freewheeling debut feature from acclaimed shorts and music video maker Sasha Nathwani, LAST SWIM captures all the tremulous energy of a group of teenagers on the cusp of adulthood as they face the hopes and fears of an uncertain future. London on a sweltering A-Level results day Ziba, a British-Iranian teen, leads her friends on an eventful journey across the city, with a once in a lifetime astronomical event planned as its climax. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Ziba struggles to retain her characteristic optimism as she finds herself battling the intrusive fears and secrets she’s been hiding from her friends… Deba Hekmat’s star performance as Ziba is supported by authentic characterisations across the board by an energetic young cast. The dance-oriented UK/ Iranian soundtrack is just one more delight to be found in this surprising coming-of-age tale. Followed by a live-on-stage Q&A with director Sasha Nathwani and actors Deba Hekmat, Lydia Flemming and Denzel Baidoo chaired by film critic, journalist and broadcaster Amon Warman.PT1H40M152025-04-04
