Sean Bean, Mark Stanley In Talks For Clio Barnard’s ‘Dark River’ Opposite Ruth Wilson
EXCLUSIVE– Sean Bean and Mark Stanley are in talks to join Clio Barnard’s Dark River opposite Ruth Wilson. The film is Barnard’s eagerly anticipated next feature after The Selfish Giant. It marks a welcome return for Bean to indie Brit filmmaking after a number high profile roles in big budget and fantasy-inflected fare such as Game of Thrones, Jupiter Ascending and The Martian. Mark Stanley has some impressive credits on his filmography, too, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens alongside well-received turns in TV projects such as Dickensian. His breakthrough role came in Paul Katis’ Kilo Two Bravo aka Kajaki. Protagonist Pictures will be shopping the project at Cannes.
Barnard has established herself as one of the UK’s most distinctive cinematic voices following rave reviews and awards for her feature-length debut The Arbor, a documentary about the late Bradford poet Andrea Dunbar, as well as her sophomore feature The Selfish Giant. The latter film followed two scrappy 13-year-old working-class friends in Bradford seeking fortune by getting involved with a local scrap dealer and criminal. The film was a critical darling on its release, winning the best British film of the year at the London Critics Circle Film Awards and a number of other festival awards. Sundance Selects released it domestically.
Film4 developed Dark River with Left Bank Pictures producing. Longtime Barnard collaborator Tracy O’Riordan is producing through her Moonspun Films. Barnard writes and directs. Exec producers for Left Bank are Lila Rawlings, Suzanne Mackie and Andy Harries. The film is backed by Film4, the British Film Institute, Screen Yorkshire and The Welcome Trust.
Sean Bean is repped by Independent Talent Group and CAA. Mark Stanley is repped by Tavistock Wood and WME.

‘Dark River’ Brings Clio Barnard Back to Yorkshire Roots
Acclaimed Yorkshire born director Clio Barnard is set to return to her home county to film her next feature film project, Dark River, this summer. The film is written and directed by Clio Barnard and produced by Tracy O’Riordan’s Moonspun Films with investment from Screen Yorkshire’s Yorkshire Content Fund. Executive Producers for Left Bank Pictures are: Lila Rawlings, Suzanne Mackie and Andy Harries
Details of the screenplay are yet to be released, but it has been confirmed that The Affair star Ruth Wilson, who won the Golden Globe for her role on the Showtime infidelity melodrama, will play the female lead. Ruth Wilson is also known for her role opposite Idris Elba on TV drama Luther. Since then, she has starred in Saul Dibb’s Suite Francaise and Saving Mr Banks opposite Tom Hanks.
Former Leeds College of Art student Clio Barnard won critical acclaim in 2010 for her feature length documentary The Arbor, which she followed with The Selfish Giant in 2013 – both projects won several awards and nods, including Best Screenplay at the Evening Standard British Film Awards and British Film of the Year at the London Critics Circle Film Awards respectively.
Film4 and the Wellcome Trust developed Dark River. Left Bank Pictures is producing with backing from the BFI and Screen Yorkshire through its Yorkshire Content Fund. Protagonist Pictures is handing international sales. Longtime Barnard collaborator Tracy O’Riordan is producing.
In the last 4 years, Screen Yorkshire has brought 38 new productions to the region through the Yorkshire Content Fund – including Peaky Blinders and Dad’s Army. In that time Screen Yorkshire’s investment of £14.4m into these projects has generated at least £48m GVA in the region.

Sean Bean & Mark Stanley Runoff Towards Clio Barnard’s “Dark River”
Potentially taking on his most significant film in recent “memory”, Deadline reports that Sean Bean and up-and-coming actor Mark Stanley (Mike Leigh’s Mr. Turner) are in talks to join Clio Barnard’s Dark River. Actress Ruth Wilson is already signed on. Production begins in Yorkshire this summer.
Gist: Adapted from Rose Tremain novel Trespass, this is about someone in their 60s who, as a teenager, was abused within their family.
Worth Noting: Better informing her screenplay, Barnard spent a year meeting psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists investigating memory, perception, hallucination and the impact of trauma.
Do We Care?: Plenty of creative upside to this production with Barnard stating “part of what has been fascinating about those conversations is that scientists use the term ‘flashback’, which comes from film – so art is informing science and science is informing art.” Here is an interview with the book author.
http://www.ioncinema.com/news/casting-news/sean-bean-mark-stanley-runoff-towards-clio-barnards-dark-river
Trespass by Rose Tremain
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/feb/28/trespass-rose-tremain-review
Sean Bean joins Dark River
Contractual Sean Bean Joke: no, we don't know whether he will make it to the final reel in this one. Happy? Right, on with the story, as Deadline reports that Bean and Mark Stanley are in talks to join Clio Barnard's new film Dark River.
Ruth Wilson is already attached to star in the film, which Barnard has written based on Rose Tremain's 2010 novel Trespass, featuring siblings dealing with terrible, traumatic events from their family past. Though the novel is set in France, Barnard is preparing to shoot the film this summer in Yorkshire, and we'll have to wait and see what changes have been made on the path from the page to the screen.
It's exciting to contemplate Barnard's return to filmmaking after 2013's excellent The Selfish Giant and she seems to be rounding up a great cast for this one. Bean, who made it through The Martian intact, is appearing in The Young Messiah, which has yet to secure a UK release. Ditto new Final Fantasy tie-in film Kingsglaive, which we reported on here. Stanley, who was one of the Knights of Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is back on our screens in a couple of weeks playing Ollie in Our Kind Of Traitor.

Ooh, yes I like the vibe of this idea ... Love Rose Tremain, love Ruth Wilson. Fingers crossed SB rises to the bait.

I'm not familiar with Ruth Wilson, but this movie sounds promising!

Ruth Wilson was mentioned for a part in Cleanskin but later dropped out.
-
Ooh, yes I like the vibe of this idea ... Love Rose Tremain...
Have you read the book? Has anybody? I'm trying to figure out (from the articles and interview posted) who could be who.
The two men are supposed to be late middle-aged, so Sean could be either of those. However, Mark Stanley is way too young, and I am not sure who Ruth Wilson could play either. Unless... Sean is the Frenchman (although I first assumed he'd be the Englishman), and they have decided to make the English trio a lot younger?
-
The book is called "Trespass."
It is bleak.
Most of the characters are not very likeable.
There are lots of flashbacks to when all the characters were young adults or children.
It's set in southern France. Aramon, the land owner has a violent past. He is letting his hunting dogs starve and his home fall apart.He decides to sell. His sister Audrun lives by herself on the same land in a small modern house.She has had a miserable life.Along comes Anthony Verey who is a wealthy but weary antiques dealer from London. He comes to visit his sister and her lover who are living there on a small farm of their own.
He decides he wants to buy a place of his own and his world collides with Aramon and Audrun.
The role of Aramon would be a "meatier role" - a drunken nasty man. Anthony is a rich gay antiques collector who love his mother very much. Bit of a stereotype in my opinion.
If you want details of where the characters and the story goes - send me a personal message.
-
I just hope he signs on for this movie.The filming in Yorkshire might make this atractive for him.

Clio Barnard's Dark River starts shooting
Principal photography has commenced on Dark River, the third feature film from writer/director Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant), starring Ruth Wilson (The Affair, Saving Mr Banks), Mark Stanley (Game of Thrones, Kajaki) and Sean Bean (The Martian, The Lord of The Rings).
Dark River is produced by Clio Barnard’s long-term producer Tracy O’Riordan (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant) of Moonspun Films with Left Bank Pictures’ Lila Rawlings, Andy Harries and Suzanne Mackie executive producing. The film is backed by Film4, the BFI Film Fund, Screen Yorkshire and the Wellcome Trust and was developed by Film4, the BFI and the Wellcome Trust. Protagonist Pictures is handling world sales. Shooting will take place on location in Yorkshire for 5 weeks.
Following the death of her father, Alice (Ruth Wilson) returns to her home village for the first time in 15 years, to claim the tenancy to the family farm she believes is rightfully hers. Once there she is confronted by a brother (Mark Stanley) she barely recognises, worn down by years of trying to keep the farm going, who is naturally hostile to her arrival and her claim over the tenancy. Their dispute unearths traumatic memories for Alice, memories which have remained dormant for years but which now threaten both of their futures.
Writer/director Clio Barnard has established herself as one of the UK’s most distinctive cinematic voices following rave reviews and awards for her feature-length debut The Arbor, a documentary about the late Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar, as well as her sophomore feature The Selfish Giant. The latter film followed two scrappy 13-year-old working-class friends in Bradford seeking their fortune by getting involved with a local scrap dealer and criminal. The film was a huge critical success on its release, launching at Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes and winning the British Film of the Year at the London Critics Circle Film Awards along with a host of other festival awards.
Clio Barnard was the first recipient of the Wellcome Trust Screenwriting Fellowship, in partnership with BFI and Film4, in 2013. Dark River was developed during her year in residence at Wellcome when she had unparalleled access to experts in traumatic memory.
Dark River reunites many of Clio Barnard’s long-term collaborators including production designer Helen Scott (Fish Tank, Red Road, The Selfish Giant); casting director Amy Hubbard (The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Homeland, The Arbor) winner of a BIFA for her casting of The Selfish Giant; costume designer Matthew Price (Wild Bill, The Arbor, The Selfish Giant); Tim Barker (The Deep Blue Sea, Bronson) responsible for sound on both The Arbor and The Selfish Giant; and Nick Fenton (Submarine, The Double) responsible for editing both The Arbor and The Selfish Giant.
Ruth Wilson’s career has been on the rise since her role as Alice Morgan in the psychological crime drama Luther. Since then, she has appeared in Anna Karenina, Suite Francaise, Saving Mr Banks opposite Tom Hanks, and in Locke as the voice of Katrina. A two-time Olivier Award winner for her theatre work in A Streetcar Named Desire and Anna Christie, Ruth was BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated for her role in the mini-series Jane Eyre and was awarded a Golden Globe for her role in the TV series The Affair. Ruth’s upcoming films include Osgood Perkins’ I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and John Cameron Mitchell’s How to Talk to Girls at Parties opposite Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning.
Mark Stanley’s film credits include Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Mr. Turner. His well-received performances in TV projects include his portrayal of Grenn in Game of Thrones and Bill Sikes in Dickensian. His breakthrough role came in Paul Katis’ Kajaki (released as Kilo Two Bravo in the US).
Sean Bean’s 20 year career spans films, television, theatre and radio. His most prominent film roles include Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Alec Trevelyan in the James Bond film GoldenEye and Odysseus in Troy, as well as roles in Patriot Games, Ronin, National Treasure, North Country, The Island, Silent Hill, Black Death, Jupiter Ascending and The Martian. His TV performances include the portrayal of Richard Sharpe in the series Sharpe, the role of Ned Stark in Game of Thrones, and his Emmy-winning performance in Accused.
‘Dark River is a visceral, haunting and lyrical story and we're delighted to have assembled our regular collaborators to help bring Clio's beautifully crafted script to life and welcome DOP, Adriano Goldman to the team. Ruth Wilson and Mark Stanley's fearless commitment to the roles of siblings Alice and Joe leading up to the shoot is exciting to behold’ says producer Tracy O’Riordan.

His IMDb page still says "rumored" but hopefully that will soon change.
Seems like little time to prepare and get over jetlag, but I guess he is used to living like that.

Hang on, maybe I am not so happy...
I thought the brother would have been the role for Sean, but he's the gay antique dealer? :wtf?:

Yeah .. and what's with the "20 year career": 35 years more like!

Cheers to him for being cast against type!!! I hope he relishes the challenge and brings home another award for his efforts! And he'll be "home" in Yorkshire, so that should make him happy. And working back to back films keeps him too busy to "tie the knot"....see? there's always a bright side!

I hope so! Love to see Sean doing new things and even better that it's not the same old, same old action hero stuff. Don't get me wrong, no one plays an action hero with more gravitas and integrity than Sean - he was made for this type of role. But, he is so much MORE than that too. He is a very talented actor and I am glad he will be getting a chance to show off those skills in a different genre.

Thank you Patch. So is Otley around Yorkshire were they're filming DARK RIVER ???

So is Otley around Yorkshire were they're filming DARK RIVER ???
As the tweet says "nothing confirmed",but Otley is in West Yorkshire and the latest news from Dark River was hat they had started filming in Yorkshire. Just wishful thinking on my part that Sean is in Yorkshire fiming Dark River.
-
According to Wikipedia, it seems a popular place for filming. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otley)
Otley is "Hotton" in the ITV television soap opera Emmerdale, and appears in ITV's Heartbeat where Otley Courthouse is the old Police Station. ITV's DCI Banks also regularly films in the town. Otley was also the setting for the drama series The Chase and the ITV dramatisation of The Bad Mother's Handbook.
-
I'm sorry but my only memories from a brief visit there is the rugby club and a rather decent chippy just down the road. (Quite a few years ago). I'm not able to provide any great detail about the town.

Is Dark River finished filming? I got the impression it was finished filming in a certain location, not finished completely. <shrugs shoulders>
There were tweets from (I think) the costume person, who said it was "wrapped." Doesn't that mean the film is totally finished? I don't really know much about how films are made. Earlier articles made it sound like they would do it all in 5 weeks in Yorkshire.

I think because in "Broken" he's taking on the lead role in a primetime drama series. Presumably a much more important part than what he has in "Dark River".
He probably is in Dark River" but they're making it a sort of "Where's Wally" for curious fans to try and spot him. :frustrate:

Ruth Wilson Navigates Shades of Gray, On and Off of The Affair
In over a decade of film and television work, Ruth Wilson has played characters named Alice or Alison no less than four times—on the British series Freezing, three seasons of the BBC’s celebrated Luther, Showtime’s ongoing The Affair, and, finally, in the new movie Dark River.
After I Am The Pretty Thing comes to Netflix at the end of October, we’ll be seeing Wilson as yet another Alice in the mystery Dark River playing opposite Sean Bean.

and in Dark River for Evening Standard award-winning director, Clio Barnard. She calls the last film ‘a British version of The Revenant. It’s set in Yorkshire, about a woman returning home to a family farm after 15 years, to reclaim the land. It was six brutal weeks on a farm, throwing myself around, skinning rabbits, pulverising rats and shearing sheep. I didn’t have to get inside a horse carcass as [Leonardo] DiCaprio did, but I got close’.

This is from July, but seems to confirm Sean is in it and makes me wonder which role he is playing.
Over the stable door: Actor’s mart appearance sets tongues wagging
There was heightened excitement amidst the sheep pens at Skipton livestock auction last Monday when the actor Sean Bean was spotted unloading sheep from a trailer. Word quickly spread that the Sheffield-born actor must have abandoned a lucrative acting career to take up shepherding.
“He was in that Game of Thrones programme mi’ son watches,” one farmer muttered to another.
“Aye. ‘Appen his fallen on hard times since they killed him off. Not sure he’ll make much of a living farming sheep though,” the other chuckled.
Both were proved wrong when a vast entourage of film crew and cameras followed the actor as he attempted to drive the sheep into a pen.
The actor and his crew were shooting a film called Dark River written by the acclaimed Yorkshire director Clio Bernard. The story may be one which many farming folk can relate to and is an adaptation of Rose Tremain’s novel Trespass.

Thanks :thumbsup:
-
Using prior movies as a reference point, Sean's characters don't usually have a great time when it comes to farm animals: death by cow in "The Field" and just the spooky weirdness of the sheep in "The Dark".
-
I wonder if there is more than one time line - if he might be the father. If he is, he is nasty man.
-

Escott has previously collaborated with Barnard on her previous two features, The Selfish Giant and The Arbor. Dark River is expected to be released in the UK in 2017.

This is good news, although "Dark River" may be dark indeed, judging from his music from "Shame."

Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2017: #51. Clio Barnard’s Dark River
Dark River
Director: Clio Barnard
Writer: Clio Barnard
Clio Barnard became an instant filmmaker of note with her compellingly crafted 2010 documentary The Arbor and then followed it up with her narrative debut, 2013’s The Selfish Giant, a kitchen sink coming-of-age drama. Her next project is described as a mystery thriller about a woman who returns to her home town after the death of her father. Having been absent for fifteen years, she seems to think she’ll be able to usurp the property left to her but apparently somebody else thinks otherwise. Featuring Ruth Wilson (of television’s “The Affair” and a recent lead in moody genre piece I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and the dependable Sean Bean, it promises to be another interesting evolution for the enigmatic director.
Cast: Ruth Wilson, Sean Bean, Mark Stanley
Production Co./Producer(s): Film4, Left Bank Pictures, Moonspun Films.
U.S. Distributor: Rights available.
Release Date: Barnard premiered out of Tribeca with The Arbor, the success of which helped her snag a Cannes berth in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar in 2013. Considering she went home with a SACD prize from Cannes, the festival would be a choice return for Barnard, currently in post-production.

15 UK and Irish films to tempt festival directors in 2017
Dark River
Dir Clio Barnard
Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley and Sean Bean star in Barnard’s Yorkshire-set drama about a young woman who has to confront traumatic memories when she returns home to the family farm. A Cannes slot is a possibility if the film is ready in time, as Barnard’s The Selfish Giant premiered in Directors’ Fortnight in 2013.

How could it NOT be ready since they finished filming it in July?
Because it's a "small" movie (compared to those specifically designed to be blockbusters), it may be a low item on the studio priority list. It may have a smaller than average group of people working on the hundreds of things in post production each film needs in order to be premiered or released, so it gets worked on when there is time for it. So, this makes the post production painfully long.

Cannes 2017: who's in the running?
Screen investigates which films from around the world could launch on the Croisette, including on opening night.
With just over a month to go before the line-up for this year’s Cannes Film Festival is unveiled in Paris, Croisette predictions and wish lists are hitting the web thick and fast.
Screen’s network of correspondents and contributors around the world have been putting out feelers to get a sense of what might or might not make it to the Palais du Cinéma or one of the parallel sections.
Just like the Oscars, this year’s festival is likely to unfold amid a politically-charged atmosphere. Beyond Trump and the rise of populism across the globe, France will be digesting the result of its own presidential election on May 7. Against this background, the festival will be feting its 70th edition.
Below, Screen reveals which titles might - and might not - be in the running for a place at the world’s most prestigious film festival (scroll to end for opening film possibilities).
UK and Ireland
Other hotly tipped UK productions include Garth Davis’s Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara as the devoted follower of Jesus Christ; Clio Barnard’s visceral sibling drama Dark River,

Cannes Wish List: 50 Films That Have a Serious Shot at the 2017 Festival Lineup
The glamorous French gathering is notorious for waiting until the last minute before locking in every slot for its Official Selection. That includes competition titles, out of competition titles, a small midnight section and the Un Certain Regard sidebar. Cannes announces the bulk of its selections in Paris on April 13, but until then, there are plenty of ways to make educated guesses. Much of the reporting surrounding the upcoming festival selection is simply lists of films expected to come out this year
“Dark River”
Director: Clio Barnard
Cast: Ruth Wilson, Sean Bean, Mark Stanley
WHY IT MIGHT GET IN: Barnard’s richly creative experimental documentary “The Arbor” was a sleeper hit in the arthouse world and announced her as a major new voice to follow. Her follow-up heartbreaker, “The Selfish Giant,” debuted in the Director’s Fortnight section back in 2013, and put a fresh spin on the Oscar Wilde story of the same name. Barnard is due for much wider recognition, and her latest feature — complete with her most well-known cast yet — seems like just the film to do it.

Still wondering when we will get to see this. Here is the latest info I can find (June 23rd).
http://www.screendaily.com/news/london-screenings-2017-which-films-stood-out/5119356.article?referrer=RSS
Titles which have excited buyers include Moviehouse’s Funny Cow, charting the rise of a female comedienne through the 1970’s and 1980’s industrial Northern England and starring Maxine Peake and Paddy Considine. Seven minutes of footage were shown of the film, which was pre-bought for the UK by eOne last year.
The most well-attended screening was Paddy Considine’s Journeyman, sold by Cornerstone Films. Trip To Spain (sold by Goalpost) likewise attracted a big audience.
Distributors were very curious about Morrissey biopic, England Is Mine, screening to the industry in advance of its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival on 2nd July. Sales agent Hanway is already fielding offers for the film.
Other films spoken about with enthusiasm by buyers included April’s Daughter (sold by Protagonist), British horror comedy Double Date (sold by Film Constellation), My Pure Land (Independent), Please Stand By starring Dakota Fanning (and sold by Embankment) and AMP International’s Songbird.
Some buyers also warmed to several of the titles introduced by Ben Roberts in a BFI showcase on Monday, among them Clio Barnard’s Dark River, Even When I Fall, Sophie Fiennes’ Grace Jones documentary Grace Jones: Bloodlight And Bami, love story horror film Beast, Andrew Hulme’s The Devil Outside, teen comedy Old Boys and Haifaa Al-Mansour’s Mary Shelley.

TIFF 2017 – Sep 7-17
https://www.tiff.net/tiff/
brass at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) unveiled on Thursday the 12 films that comprise this year’s Platform programme.
The line-up opens with Armando Iannucci’s satire The Death Of Stalin (pictured), and includes Mike White’s US comedy Brad’s Status starring Ben Stiller, and Clio Barnard’s UK selection Dark River.
Warwick Thornton’s Australian western Sweet Country closes the section. Every entry is a world premiere except Sweet Country and Xavier Legrand’s Custody, both of which premiere in Venice.
The films represent eight countries and will compete for the Platform Prize awarded by a jury comprising filmmakers Chen Kaige, Malgorzata Szumowska and Wim Wenders.
This will mark the third year of Platform., designed to showcase “original voices in contemporary cinema.” Previous selections include this year’s best picture Oscar winner Moonlight, Lady Macbeth, Land Of Mine, and Jackie.
“The films unveiled today embody our bold vision for the programme, and our ongoing commitment to showcase artistic and inventive directors that fearlessly push boundaries,” TIFF CEO and director Piers Handling said. “The twelve titles exemplify bravery, dynamism and a unique voice in storytelling that we look for when curating the Platform programme.”
“Platform is the place to look for the distinct stamp of today’s most interesting directors as they establish their reputations,” TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey said. “It’s important that the Platform jury also reflects original thinking in cinema. We’re thrilled to bring together Wim Wenders, Chen Kaige and Malgorzata Szumowska, each one responsible for bringing visionary films into the world.”

Clio Barnard's 'Dark River' gets UK deal
EXCLUSIVE: Protagonist closes key sale on TIFF premiere.
Clio Barnard’s highly anticipated third feature Dark River has been picked up for UK distribution by Arrow Films.
Protagonist Pictures is handling sales on the title, which is set to premiere at Toronto International Film Festival (Sept 7-17) in the Platform strand.
The deal was negotiated by Protagonist’s manager of international sales George Hamilton and Arrow Films’ acquisitions director Tom Stewart.
Written and directed by Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant) and inspired by Rose Tremain’s novel Trespass, the film stars Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley and Sean Bean in the story of a woman who returns to her hometown for the first time in 15 years following the death of her father.
There, she encounters her older brother, a man she barely recognises after his long struggle to keep the family farm going while caring for their sick father.
It was produced by Barnard’s long-term producer Tracy O’Riordan of Moonspun Films with Left Bank Pictures’ Lila Rawlings, Andy Harries and Suzanne Mackie executive producing.
Further executive producers were Lizzie Francke, Rose Garnett, Polly Stokes, Hugo Heppell and Meroë Candy.
“Clio Barnard has created a powerful and emotional drama that explores the fragility of familial relationships,” said Hamilton. “It is sure to resonate with audiences, and we are thrilled to partner with Arrow for the home territory release.”
Tom Stewart added: ”We are incredibly proud to be releasing Clio Barnard’s third feature which we feel is a truly outstanding piece of British film-making. 0n a separate note, we’re completely thrilled to be working with everyone at Protagonist Pictures on this incredibly exciting release”.

Special Presentation
Dark River
Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant) adapts Rose Tremain’s Trespass, relocating the action to Yorkshire, where two siblings come into conflict over a family inheritance.

Following the death of their father, two siblings struggle to come to terms with their inheritance in Clio Barnard’s searing, eloquent response to Rose Tremain’s Trespass. Fiercely holding on to a promise made long-ago, independently-minded Alice (Ruth Wilson) returns home for the first time in 15 years to claim the family farm. Her grieving brother Joe (Mark Stanley) has spent years looking after their father (Sean Bean) and has scarcely kept the property afloat. Estranged for so long they can barely communicate, Alice soon incurs her brother’s wrath when she claims legal tenancy. As tensions mount, troubling memories surface and the real reason for her prolonged absence is revealed. One of contemporary British cinema’s most distinctive filmmakers, Barnard follows The Selfish Giant (LFF2013) and Sutherland Award-winner The Arbor (LFF2010) with another emotionally raw, Yorkshire-set drama. Her expressive use of landscape and Adriano Goldman’s haunting camerawork amplify two commanding performances, Wilson’s displaying all the power and vulnerability so evident in her recent TV (The Affair) and stage (Hedda Gabler) work, with Stanley (Game of Thrones) equally compelling as a man who has squandered his life in denial of the past.

“Dark River ”— Written and Directed by Clio Barnard
What it’s about: Ruth Wilson stars in British filmmaker Clio Barnard’s atmospheric and layered drama about the old wounds and bitter new grievances that come to light when a woman returns home to settle the tenancy of her family’s Yorkshire farm.
Why we’re interested: Sibling drama, old grudges, and gendered societal expectations collide in “Dark River.” In a soon-to-be-published interview, Barnard told us that “it is a film about how damaging it is to be silenced and to bury the past, about how as children we can feel we failed to protect our siblings and can carry misplaced guilt with us for the rest of our lives. It is also about acceptance, putting the past to rest.”

TIFF 2017 Women Directors: Meet Clio Barnard — “Dark River”
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad116/patchfolk/1_d9V2SiLjIfUJJz0r1Av4hQ_zpspkujv4wd.jpg) (http://s927.photobucket.com/user/patchfolk/media/1_d9V2SiLjIfUJJz0r1Av4hQ_zpspkujv4wd.jpg.html)
Clio Barnard is a director whose films have won her The Douglas Hickox Award at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs), Best Screenplay at the Evening Standard British Film Awards, and Best British Newcomer at the BFI London Film Festival.
Her previous works include “The Selfish Giant” and “The Arbor.” Dark River” is Barnard’s third feature film.
“Dark River” will premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival on September 10.
W&H: Describe the film for us in your own words.
CB: Framed by PJ Harvey singing a folk song setting of a traditional children’s rhyme “My Father Gave me an Acre of Land,” I see “Dark River” as a folk tale about the exploitation of a woman’s body and the land.
W&H: What drew you to this story?
CB: I was inspired by “Trespass,” a novel written by Rose Tremain. I was interested in the relationship between the adult siblings whose dispute over the neglected family farm forces both of them to confront a past they have developed different strategies to suppress.
W&H: What do you want people to think about when they are leaving the theater?
CB: In part it is a film about how damaging it is to be silenced and to bury the past, about how as children we can feel we failed to protect our siblings, and can carry misplaced guilt with us for the rest of our lives.
It is also about acceptance, putting the past to rest, about the difficulty of that process. By the end the siblings are able to reconnect. I hope people will think about the complexity of sibling relationships when there is trauma within the family.
W&H: What was the biggest challenge in making the film?
CB: The subject matter.
W&H: How did you get your film funded? (Is it a studio film, a crowdsourced film, somewhere in between?) Share some insights into how you got the film made.
CB: The film was financed by BFI, Film4, Screen Yorkshire, and the Wellcome Trust.
W&H: What does it mean for you to have your film play at the Toronto International Film Festival?
CB: I’m absolutely thrilled! I’m especially thrilled to be in the prestigious Platform section, which is a very special part of the festival.
W&H: What’s the best you’ve received?
CB: Best advice: Cast well, crew well.

Clio Barnard talks Toronto premiere 'Dark River'
The journey from Trespass the novel (set in rural France) to Dark River the resulting film (set on a Yorkshire farm, and named after a poem by Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes) would prove to be transformative — which, when you consider the distance between her narrative feature debut The Selfish Giant (2013) and its Oscar Wilde source material, is perhaps no great surprise. What remained intact were Trespass’s themes of past incestuous sexual abuse bubbling to the surface years later through the conflict over land between a sister and brother.
Sean Bean was cast in the pivotal role of the deceased father Richard, who is seen in flashbacks. His scenes, with the teen versions of the siblings (Esme Creed-Miles, Aiden McCullough), were significantly reduced in the edit. “Once you start shooting, often things that you had on the page, you don’t need on the screen,” says Barnard.
“Working with the flashbacks was really hard, and the edit took longer than we thought, based on our previous experiences,” acknowledges Barnard. “The subject matter in Dark River is delicate, so little changes made a massive difference.”

“Sexual abuse is an impossible topic to deal with”
Clio Barnard • Director
British artist-filmmaker Clio Barnard returns to her Yorkshire homeland with her third feature, Dark River River
which was screened in the Platform section of the 42nd Toronto International Film Festival and was awarded the jury’s Special Mention (see the news). We sat down with her to further explore the delicate subject of sexual abuse, her relationship with professional actors and how she has evolved since her acclaimed film The Selfish Giant.
Cineuropa: Why did you decide to explore the topic of sexual abuse; was it difficult?
Clio Barnard: I guess that since the Jimmy Savile scandal, we have finally started talking about this issue in Britain. There has been much talk about celebrities or the church, but not so much about families, which statistically is where sexual abuse happens. It is an almost impossible topic to deal with in a fiction film. I had to face the challenge of understanding what this might cause in a family and what the psychological damage could be. Also, depicting something that sensitive via a medium that includes image, sound and action was a massive challenge.
Does this explain your reluctance to use flashbacks that pertain to that topic?
There were more in the script, but while editing it, we decided that the fewer we kept in, the more impact they would have. As we were talking to psychotherapists and scientists who deal with survivors, they mentioned a difference between the memories that we involuntarily recall and the intrusive ones. I was trying to recreate the memories that are intruding. It’s not that the heroine doesn’t remember; she knows, but when the memories come back and are so vivid, she doesn’t have any other choice.
You also did some extensive research on the matter; could you elaborate on that?
I spoke to Jackie Craissati, a forensic psychologist who treats perpetrators of sexual abuse, and she was incredibly helpful in terms of understanding what is done in these families. Usually, when it’s a father-daughter case, then the dynamic could be either aggressive-controlling or needy-controlling. In the film’s case, it’s the second one, as it is about emotional needs. I was constantly checking to see whether what I was doing was psychologically accurate, and I also spoke to the actresses to help them understand. Also, researcher Martina di Simplicico helped me to see the relationship between trauma and memory.
The rural landscape always plays an important role in your work; is there any juxtaposition with the urban one?
The countryside has become gentrified, and now the local population is being pushed back into the urban environment. Where I grew up, there was a farmer whose family were tenants for several generations. When I was doing my research, I went back to find him, but he was gone. The farm had been sold, so he was forced to move to the city without a job. To me, there is a clear relationship between the urban and the rural, but we tend to divorce them even if they are related to one another.
Was it easy to work with professional actors for the first time, and how did they adapt to their roles?
I was quite nervous because they are famous, and I hadn’t worked with professionals before, but in a way, as soon as you meet somebody, it’s fine. You need to be absolutely intimate with each other in order to work together, so that gets broken down pretty quickly. Sean Bean is a really amazing actor, and Ruth Wilson is quite committed and fearless when it comes to adapting to the psychological and physical aspects. It was intense, and she spent a lot of time with the same people who helped me to write the script in Yorkshire. She literally got her hands dirty!
What are the differences between this and your previous film, and did you make any changes?
There were many differences – one was working with two adult leads and very experienced actors, which was such a joy. I think I set out to make quite a faithful adaptation of the book, and that was difficult because I knew with The Selfish Giant that it would never be like that. That was where I evolved narratively, especially by having all these flashbacks. I wanted to transfer the experience truthfully in some way, but no experience is the same, and it’s very personal, very intimate, so it’s really hard to know. I hope that the audience can see that.
How did the collaboration with PJ Harvey come about?
I am a fan of her work, so I was over the moon when I received a letter from her because she had enjoyed my previous film. We got a chance to sit down and discuss the screenplay, and we found a way to work together on Dark River.

Discussing the screenplay Clio explained “I tried to pare the dialogue back as far as I could while writing it, I wanted it to be the last thing, to mainly use action and expression and sound and then for dialogue to just be the icing on the cake. And we kept paring it back working with Ruth and Mark, and then we could pare it back even further in the edit because Ruth and Mark’s performances are so strong, you get so much from them.”
“Bringing in the father was one of the most difficult things creatively.” Clio said, “It felt risky, and perhaps foolish! In a novel you can jump around in time, but I wanted to physically show the intrusive memories, how they trespass and how it affects how we behave in the real world. It was very difficult in the edit to know how much was enough to show and how much was too much.”

It was really important to me to do it delicately, carefully and sensitively. One of the important things for me was that you knew straightaway that it was a story about sexual abuse in the family, so it wasn’t a narrative reveal at any point.
I wanted it to come across in a subtle way, which was really difficult, to get that balance right. In the very first scene, she has an intrusive memory that her father is in the room with her – getting that right was really important. Different people are going to take different things from that scene, but I think you understand what’s happened and what she’s dealing with.

Clio Barnard on Dark River
That was probably the biggest challenge of the film — the sense that these scenes were happening in the here and now and were influencing Alice’s behaviour in the present. What I was trying to do was maintain the realism, which is quite hard when using what people think of as flashbacks. In reality what goes on inside our heads has an incredible impact on the way we behave, and that’s what I was trying to achieve.
In practical terms those sequences were quite technical to shoot. There was a lot of stopping and starting in terms of placing the actors in the exactly same positions; asking Sean to sit on a chair then get up off the chair, so he’s not there in the next shot –I knew I wanted them to be intrusive in that way, but they were tricky.
What I liked about working with Sean, Ruth and Mark was that we could work together to figure out how a scene could be played this way, or that way, and they would always give me a truthful performance.
We were in dialogue all the time about the characters, and there was a lot of work that Ruth, Sean and Mark were doing that I wasn’t involved in at all, decisions that they were making that I didn’t know about until filming started.

EXCLUSIVE: Behind the scenes of the new Sean Bean film Dark River
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad116/patchfolk/Sean%20Bean/sean%20bean%203/movies/image13_zpsfbocxskf.jpg) (http://s927.photobucket.com/user/patchfolk/media/Sean%20Bean/sean%20bean%203/movies/image13_zpsfbocxskf.jpg.html)
In Dark River, her third Yorkshire-based film, Clio Barnard explores sheep farming, sibling rivalry… and dreadful family secrets. Exclusive location report by Tony Earnshaw.
And underlying the awkwardness of the
siblings’ relationship is the spectre of their father, played in drifting, wraithlike fashion by Sean
Bean.
Then there is the father. Sean Bean worked on Dark River for a week. Not long, but long enough to infuse the film with his presence. It is dark and forbidding but always with the hope that something redemptive will emerge.
His involvement mirrored that of co-funder Screen Yorkshire, which considers Barnard to be one of the UK’s pre-eminent filmmakers. Executive producer Hugo Heppell, for Screen Yorkshire, said the challenging subject matter draws as much from the Dales landscape as it does from the intense performances of the lead cast. “The result,” he added, “is a deeply affecting drama that deserves to be experienced on the big screen.”
Coincidentally the film was being readied for release just as the Hollywood sex abuse scandal erupted and the #MeToo movement gathered momentum. Not without reason Barnard describes Dark River’s undercurrent of incest – still a massive cinematic taboo – as “the biggest challenge of the film”.
“It’s so easy to get it wrong, you know?” she says. “In a way I didn’t ever want it to be a reveal that Alice had been sexually abused by her father. I wanted there to be a real subtlety about the audience feeling that the father was there but knowing that he isn’t; that he’s there as this intrusive memory for her.“It was very difficult to try and get that balance right so you’d get a sense of someone living with this trauma that she’s carrying with her all the time.
“And Sean was amazing. He’s such a subtle and thoughtful actor, very quiet. It was quite strange to be using him so little and yet the impact of it needed to be very, very strong. He was just such a lovely presence to have on the set even though what he had to do was so hard.”

Dark River Interviews with Cast with English subtitles
Ruth Wilson
Shaun was great I
mean the poor guy had a he's got a hard
job he's got to come on he's got to be
you know a pretty nasty character and
manipulative character and it's not an
easy job for an actor to come on and do
that and for all the characters opposite
him to have to be scared or frightened
of him or dislike him so I had much
respect for him because he did it in
such a gentle and brilliant way actually
and dealt with Esme in a wonderful way
Sean Bean
I my agent called me and told me that
Clio was you know making this film this
was about a year and a half of I suppose
so
I always kind of involved with it I
think for a while before it kind of
materialized and I was very excited
about the prospect of working with Clio
kind of makes you feel
really is quite shocking quite
disturbing the same size quite beautiful
sorry you know terms of these young
people and how they kind of get through
this obstacle course of emotions and and
he didn't feelings and you know things
that we you know that they have to face
up to which they don't necessarily want
so I think that's what it's kind of a
bow
he is the father except for the father
he is incestuous and he kinda leaves her
with a an awful burden you know on the
mind and the soul you know I think
something she's got to live with and you
know quite a shocking kind of man in
that sense yeah
yeah we talked about but I thought to
climb about it and be tougher there's
some length you know about what she saw
it what her vision was of this
particular character and then I'm a lady
always kind of forensic psychologist who
kind of specializes in like child abuse
and incestuous relationships within
families you know especially fathers and
daughters to me and that was you know
very interesting very kind of useful for
me
why the way that she visualizes things
and the camera lenses and she referred
over the cameraman Maggio I know and
he's you know together they're wonderful
pairing very artistic very kind of
visionary you know it's very enjoyable
to work with someone and gives you that
kind of look shave being able to try
things and you know that she was
thinking the same thing is very
experimental that she certainly got you
know efficient and and you know
structure and even though she sticks to
that she's you feel very confident with
her and I think she's very confident in
herself that she can you know veer away
from that and try different you know
experimenting with different you know
avenues
most of the stuff I do with Esme's the
things that happened at the time so
therefore we kind of film a film with
this made the young galleys and then I
do the same scene with with Ruth the
older Allison and I guess Chloe is gonna
mix them up and use them as she you know
she sees fit but that's that's career
you know it to be able to do that and
you know it amazes phase it's very
interesting to kind of work that way and
working on an independent firm is more
intimate and more times given to the
performances and the preparation they're
zombies distractions you know it's quite
a closed environment where you feel as
though it's very focused and intense and
there's not much else to worry about
except your relationship with the actor
or director of people that you were at
the time so it's very kind of gratifying
and very you know rewarding
very interesting cinema
experience and something that subjects
and this story this big approached
having very new and exciting they brave
kind of way

I've been meaning to write for some time now that I did eventually watch my Dark River DVD, with considerable help from its subtitles. Although the starring actors gave very strong performances, I would certainly have liked to see more from Sean. The film is artistically done and presents an intriguing psychological study of how the past can infuse the present, but it is not easy to sit through since both the past and the present are so thoroughly depressing. The strikingly beautiful shots of the countryside almost made up for that, but I may need to watch All Creatures Great and Small soon just to balance out the bleakness with a cheery "ponies and puppies" view of life in rural Yorkshire.
