In From The Side
Fresh from sold out screenings at BFI Flare, writer-director Matt Carterโs debut feature explores life on and off the pitch at a gay rugby club.
Mark (Alexander Lincoln), a new and inexperienced rugby club member, finds himself drawn to Warren (Alexander King), a seasoned first team player. When a series of happenstances at an away fixture lead to a drunken encounter, Mark and Warren unwittingly embark on a romantic affair they struggle to hide from their partners and teammates. As the secret begins to unravel, team spirit, loyalties and camaraderie are tested in writer-director Matt Carterโs startlingly sensitive story about forbidden love and finding your tribe.
