Irish filmmaker Cathy Brady’s debut feature – presented last year at the BFI London Film Festival – follows Lauren and Kelly, inseparable sisters raised in a small town on the Irish fractious border, whose lives were shattered with the mysterious death of their mother. 

An exercise in unease backed by two convincing performances, Wildfire unfolds as a study of two siblings’ relationship where historic resentments give way to a shared need to confront the events that scarred them as children.
