DIRTY GOD A Film by Sacha Polak 2019 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL WORLD CINEMA DRAMATIC COMPETITION OPENING IN SELECT THEATERS ON NOVEMBER 13 AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL PLATFORMS ON DECEMBER 15 In Dirty God, a young mother from London must pick up the pieces in the aftermath of an acid attack that leaves her with disastrous scarring. Living in a looks obsessed world, and without that as her currency, Jane must move on with her new life, personal difficulties, and the unfortunate occurrences of everyday humiliation.

Dirty God is an international co-production with Michael Elliott’s EMU Films (UK), A Private View (Belgium) and Savage Productions (Ireland). Financial support for the film was provided by funds including the Dutch Film Fund, the Netherlands Production Incentive, the British Film Institute, BBC Films, the Flemish Audiovisual Fund, Screen Ireland and Eurimages.

Sacha Polak’s DIRTY GOD is a film about a young mother from London who must pick up the pieces after an acid attack leaves her with severe facial burns. Prior to the attack, with limited education and opportunities, Jade's main currency was her looks. Her face has been reconstructed, but her beauty is gone. Jade must set about rebuilding herself - and this is a gargantuan task. Cast adrift from her young daughter, Jade finds solace in the hidden world of online liaisons where she uncovers the passion and connection she's craved in an often humorous and celebratory way. However, the actions of a stranger threaten to turn her life upside down once more, and those around her are ill-equipped to halt her descent. As family life and friendships start to crumble, her lowest ebb proves the inspiration that Jade needs. Jade takes drastic action, finally finding her path back to her daughter and herself. Finalist for the 2019 Sundance Grand Jury Prize (World Cinema Dramatic) DIRTY GOD is a powerful film about motherhood, courage and self-acceptance. Director Sacha Polak joins us for a conversation on how Jade’s story resonated with lead actor Vicki Knight’s own recovery and the trust and bonding that the entire cast and crew experienced during the making of this compelling film.

Zonder falen is er geen kunst. Om bijzonder werk te maken, moet je risico’s nemen, en soms gaat dat mis. Nu het jaar om z’n einde loopt, vragen we in Nooit Meer Slapen een aantal mensen die een succesvol jaar achter de rug hebben naar hún faalmoment. Vanavond: regisseur Sacha Polak. Met haar film ‘Dirty God’ won ze dit jaar een Gouden Kalf. Verslaggever Inge ter Schure sprak haar.

In this Q&A director Sacha Polak, actor Vicky Knight and screenwriter Susie Farrell discuss the process of making the film Dirty God. The film tells the story of a young British mother who struggles to reclaim her life after a brutal acid attack leaves her severely scarred.

ROZMOWA PRZEPROWADZONA W JĘZYKU ANGIELSKIM W Londynie corocznie ofiarami ataku kwasem zostaje 465 kobiet. Zainspirowana beznadzieją tych statystyk reżyserka „Dirty God” Sacha Polak wyciąga na wierzch historię młodej Jade. Oblana kwasem kobieta żyje w zwykłej dzielnicy południowego Londynu i mierzy się nie tylko z kompleksami dotyczącymi deformacjami twarzy. Emocjonalności dodaje także debiut Vicky Knight, osobiście mierzącej się na co dzień z bliznami na własnym ciele. Reporterka Radia LUZ Anna Lalka porozmawiała z obiema kobietami o największych wyzwaniach stojących przy produkcji takiego filmu

Released tomorrow June 7th this is an arresting and Important British Film about a difficult and under-discussed subject - dealing with the aftermath of being the victim of an acid attack. First-time actor Vicky Knight shows tremendous nerve and courage playing an acid-attack survivor in Sacha Polak’s gritty, grounded London drama. In real-life, the 23-year-old was scarred in a fire as a child and has spoken movingly to the Guardian about the trauma of filming nude scenes and closeups of her burns (enhanced for the film by makeup). Well, not only is she brave, she’s good, too, inhabiting her funny, impulsive, often unlikable character utterly. 'I hid my scars for years ... I thought I was only good for horror movies' Dirty God’s script skips the attack, picking up with Jade (Knight) as she’s leaving hospital after months of operations and skin grafts. Back at home in the flat on a London estate where she lives with her mum and two-year-old daughter, everyone tells Jade that she’ll be able to get on with her life when her ex-boyfriend is sentenced for the crime. But how can she move on when every time she leaves the house people stare? Jade’s doctors are happy with her progress, but she trawls the internet in search of a miracle cure, finding a cheap plastic surgery clinic in Morocco that promises to correct her scarring. Dirty God is Dutch director Polak’s English-language debut, and it’s an authentic portrait of London. Polak shoots with in-the-moment energy: in hospital wards, at a grime club, in a drab call centre where Jade gets a job to pay for surgery. This is a film about a young woman made by young women (co-written by Polak and Susie Farrell), who aren’t shy of thinking about what Jade’s sex life is going to look like now. The guy she was flirting with before the attack (Bluey Robinson), has got together with her best mate (Rebecca Stone) – both are brilliantly cast. It’s intense but not unwatchably painful, and so much more than an issue film or portrait of a victim. I really hope Knight finds a place in the film industry; with her terrific performance here she’s earned it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/popcorn-junkies/message

Sacha Polak (1982) heeft een nieuwe speelfilm gemaakt: Zurich. Met Wende Snijders in de hoofdrol. Het is haar eerste rol, maar wat pakt die gok goed uit. De film laat veel onuitgesproken, maar gaat over een vrouw die na de plotselinge dood van haar man ontdekt dat hij haar jarenlang ernstig bedrogen heeft: hij had nog een gezin.
