The Deadness of Dad

The Deadness of Dad tells the story of a little boy who struggles to accept his father's passing. He believes that his father's twin brother is actually his dad, which adds a layer of complexity to his grief.

At a runtime of just 23 minutes, this film provides a poignant look at childhood and the ways in which we cope with loss. The narrative is driven by strong performances, particularly from Rhys Ifans and Lisa Palfrey, who bring depth to their roles. Directed by Philippa Collie Cousins, it highlights the perspective of a woman director in a predominantly male industry.
