Seat in Shadow

Directed by Henry Coombes

Enter Albert's world, an eccentric, aging painter and Jung-inspired psychotherapist. When asked to counsel his friend's grandson Ben, struggling with boyfriend issues and depression, their therapy sessions uncover as much about Albert as they do about Ben.
Seat in Shadow is an eccentric Scottish comedy that combines Freud, gay romance, surreal fantasy and Glaswegian humour with complete confidence in its own oddness. Henry Coombes’ film is uneven but imaginative, and its playful visual style gives it a distinctive personality.
