Scarborough
Synopsis
Two couples check into a run-down hotel on the sea-front in Scarborough. Two of the people involved are "barely sixteen" and the other two are their teachers. The dynamics of the teacher/pupil relationship is put to the test over two weekends in Scarborough. Whilst it seems that the couples are aware of each other's presence, they do not interact with each other.

PRODUCTION NOTES
▸ Production
The film was adapted for screen by its director, Barnaby Southcombe, who saw the original play Scarborough, written by Fiona Evans, at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2008. The play was first acted in Edinburgh, but the original script sets the characters in a bed and breakfast in Scarborough, as opposed to a hotel. Principal photography took place in the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire from May 2017. The hotel used in the production is The Grand Hotel which overlooks the South Bay in Scarborough, though for the film it is renamed as The Metropole.

CRITICAL RECEPTION
The film was previewed at the Warsaw Film Festival in October 2018, where one reviewer stated "Barnaby Southcombe’s seaside love story soars and never loses its footloose fun reflected in Ian Leggett’s energetic hand-held camera and limpid widescreen seascapes." The film was also nominated for best film at the Transilvania International Film Festival, where one writer stated that "The hand-held camera increases the feeling that we are intruding on the characters’ most intimate moments, but this is a sensation that the film’s parallel editing prevents from sinking in too deep. Southcombe’s decision to alternate between the scenes showing the two couples hints at the fact that the stories unfold simultaneously."
Gráinne Humphreys, the director of the Dublin International Film Festival said
