Portraying pregnancy - film discussion panel: Private Life
Join us for this online film discussion of Tamara Jenkins' rave-reviewed comedy drama "Private Life" about a couple undergoing IVF and considering egg donation starring the amazing Kathryn Hahn and Paul Giamatti:
âThis is a story you'll want to watch to its exquisitely compassionate ending: a wordless final-credits aria that âŠspeaks volumes about the nature of minute-to-minute emotional survival.â
Having a baby is not always straight-forward, and COVID-19 has compounded an already challenging situation for many.
The film has been chosen as one of The Guardianâs and was recently selected as during lockdown!
You can and the film is available to view on in advance of the panel discussion.
The panel discussion will be held as a webinar on Thursday 25th June at 7.00 pm UK time, with a Q&A.
