Before their BFI Flare premiere, FILMHOUNDS sat down with directors Neil Ely and Lloyd Eyre-Morgan to talk about their debut feature 'Departures'. SYNOPSIS: Benji meets Jake at an airport check-out gate and is immediately intrigued. Jake is fit, elusive, dominant and, as Benji happily suspects, ‘a bit gay’. Cue monthly getaways to Amsterdam, a lot of sex and the creeping emergence of a doomed power dynamic. This Manchester-made feature was self-funded by a collective of working-class LGBT+ filmmakers, who have successfully created a funny, raw and empathetic cinematic experience for all.
