Measures For a Funeral

Synopsis

Audrey Benac (Deragh Campbell) is an academic drawn into the life of forgotten Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow. She embarks on a globe-spanning journey—from Toronto to Oslo, via Cambridge and Meldreth—to resurrect Parlow’s legacy.

Haunted by a mother who blames her for a failed career, Audrey delves into archives, explores Parlow’s diaries, and strives to stage a live orchestral performance of the lost violin concerto Opus 28, composed for Parlow and long presumed destroyed.

Sofia Bohdanowicz’s recurring character Audrey returns in Measures for a Funeral (2025), an introspective, music-centered meditation on memory, legacy, and unfulfilled ambition.

We are delighted to welcome director Sofia Bohdanowicz for an in-person Q&A after the screening on Saturday 25th October
