FILM REVIEW: How Can I Forget - Bolton Film Festival


How Can I Forget is a short film which was shown as part of this year's online Bolton Film Festival, in their classifications "F-Rated". This is a special classification which means that the film is female-led, either by director, writer or main characters.

How Can I Forget - UK - Dir: Natalia Andreadis


One of my favourites from the whole festival, this film was part romance, part fantasy, part Musical, part weepie, all rolled into a very huge dollop of Rom-Com. 

Joe (David O'Mahony) and Connie (Genesis Lynea) are brought together on a blind date that neither are really looking forward to, and have seemingly been coerced into it by their friends. Neither of the two are what their freinds would condiser 'normal', this is due to the fact that they have a 'special ability' - that of knowing the very near future seconds before it happens - and since they realise straight away that they both have the same ability, it surely must be a match made in heaven....

Beautifully filmed with love, creativity and attention to detail; excellently acted, and a joy to watch this gem of a film.
