Spazju Kreattiv are once again screening the pluri-nominated Manchester by the Sea today.

With Casey Affleck as Lee Chandler in what has been a star-turning role for the actor, the film focuses on a man forced to give up his solitary life as a handyman in a Massachusetts apartment block to care for his teenage nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges) following the abrupt death of his brother Joe (Kyle Chandler).

Lee must now return to his hometown of Manchester-by-the-Sea to face all the unresolved trauma of his buried past, including the burden of his reputation back home, a painful divorce, and the site of the tragic incident which threw his life off course.

The film is written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan and also stars Michelle Williams and Gretchen Mol. It has been nominated for six Oscars in the upcoming Academy Awards taking place this Sunday.

■ The film screens tonight at St James Cavalier in Valletta at 7.30pm with a repeat on March 4. For more information, visit http://kreattivita.org .
