Emer McCourt/Your Productions, 2009, 13 mins, animation)

Emer McCourt’s documentary follows Rosie, a young homeless woman on Tyneside desperately trying to find emergency accommodation on one snowy February day, after four months of sleeping rough and ‘couch-hopping’. Made as part of Northern Film & Media’s Capture scheme, it’s a moving and illuminating film, drawing an energy from the sheer difficulty of its subject’s life.
