Helen’s first big film role
by Karl Francis | Vimeo | September 15, 1995
Bob Flynn, writing for the Irish Times about the 49th Edinburgh Film Festival in 1995, thought Streetlife was the discovery of the festival fortnight, and marked “the triumphant renaissance” of Francis as a “devastating writer and director.” The film received a special runner-up from the Michael Powell Jury.
It also won the Silver Nymph Award at the 1995 Monte Carlo TV Festival, and two BAFTA Cymru Awards in 1997. One for best director and the other for Helen McCrory for Best Actress.
