About it
Nostalgie: From Page to Screen
Drew Lord Haig (Aidan Gillen), a faded 80s pop star from England, is invited to perform at an event in Northern Ireland. Hoping to recapture his glory days, he instead encounters a disturbing truth that changes everything.
Directed by Kathryn Ferguson, Nostalgie won Best Short Film (Live Action) at the 2026 IFTA Awards and was nominated for a BAFTA. It began as a short story in Wendy Erskine's collection Dance Move .
After the screening, Wendy Erskine , screenwriter Stacey Gregg and producer Marie-Thérése Mackle trace the film's journey from page to screen - carrying a writer's voice and sense of place from short story into short film, and about what had to change along the way.
The panel talk will be followed by networking drinks hosted by Women in Film & TV, the UK’s leading membership organisation for women working in creative media.
