The Awkward Art of Showing Emotion
Why do so many men struggle to show their feelings?
UistFilm presents: Silent Men, screening in Carinish Hall on Saturday 26th April. Part therapy, part road trip, BAFTA award winning filmmaker Duncan Cowles asks men how they open up in order to directly address his own difficulties in being intimate and open with his loved ones.
With profound honesty and deadpan wit, SILENT MEN intertwines awkward conversations and the filmmaking process, asking what makes men tick, and more importantly, how to come to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental.
Exploring aspects of masculinity that all too often are little discussed, this film opens the door for other ways of being, communicating and healing, as well as attempting to define masculinity.
“A fascinating exploration of masculinity and upbringing” – Morning Star
“Watching Silent Men might just help you to open up” – Snack Magazine
“A worthy tribute to the importance of pursuing connection” – New Scientist
