Do Re Mi Fa, a multi-threaded narrative drama that is set in Malta, is being exclusively premiered at Eden Cinema on Sunday.

Written and directed by Chris Zarb shortly after graduating with a BA (Hons) in practical film-making from the University of West London, the story follows four characters whose lonely and isolated existences unknowingly intersect to reach a climactic tipping point.

This feature film, starring Paul Flanagan, Irene Christ, Sean O’Neil and Marc Cabourdin, was awarded funds from the Malta Film Fund in 2013. The film also won an Award of Merit at the IndieFest in the US.

All characters and threads are introduced in an opening tracking shot, allowing the audience to follow their lives throughout the film.

The characters include Bozo, portrayed by Flanagan, a children’s party clown struggling with paedophilic impulses.

Kyle (Marc Cabourdin) struggles to cope with Tim, a deaf son, played by Nathan Ellul Hawes.

Christ takes on the role of Claudia, an actress currently appearing in an avant-garde stage production, who is paralysed with feelings of insignificance during her time upon the stage.

Her uncontrollable emotions drive her to buy an illegal firearm as she plots to shoot down the audience attending her production.

Kyle is played by Cabourdin, who portrays the father of a deaf son, struggling to cope with challenges at home and at work.

Concluding the main characters is DJ Trim played by O’ Neil.

DJ Trim is a talk radio show presenter suffering from an increasingly debilitating anxiety disorder, who advocates for the rights of illegal immigrants and becomes the target of unwanted attention from a threatening caller.

The evening kicks off at 8pm with a wine reception prior to the start of the film. Tickets to the premiere cost €10.
