The Selfish Giant

Director : Clio Barnard

THE SELFISH GIANT, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s story, is about 13 year old Arbor and his best friend Swifty. Excluded from school and outsiders in their own neighbourhood, the two boys meet Kitten, a local scrapdealer. They begin to collect scrap metal for him using a horse and a cart. Swifty has a natural gift with horses while Arbor imitates Kitten, keen to impress him and make some money. However, Kitten favours Swifty, leaving Arbor feeling hurt and excluded, driving a wedge between the boys.
