Kristoffer Nyholm : 2018
Keepers
A small relief boat approaches the Isle, a tiny isolated island no bigger than a football pitch, 20 miles from the rugged Scottish coast. Its aim is to routinely replace the three lighthouse keepers, after six weeks alone manning the light. It nears the dock and none of the men greet them. The winch is broken. A call. Nothing. Experienced keepers Thomas, James and Donald have vanished. The lamps are clean and refilled; the table is laid for dinner. There is an upturned chair. Two sets of yellow oilskins are missing. The men were never found. Inspired by the Flannan Isle mystery, Kristoffer Nyholm's feature debut had its UK premiere in the Gala section at Glasgow Film Festival 2019.
