Ayr Town Hall will host a screening of Blue Heron, a 2025 autobiographical drama written and directed by Sophy Romvari, on Thursday 18 February 2027.
The screening is scheduled to begin at 7.15pm, with doors opening 30 minutes earlier at 6.45pm. The event will take place at Ayr Town Hall, 21-29 New Bridge Street, Ayr, KA7 1JX.
A story of migration and family trauma
Blue Heron is described as Romvari’s feature debut. The film is listed as being from Hungary and has a running time of one hour and 31 minutes. Its cast includes Eylul Guven, Amy Zimmer and Edik Beddoes.
The story follows Sasha, a young Hungarian immigrant, after her family moves to Vancouver Island in search of a new beginning. As the family settles into unfamiliar surroundings, its home life is increasingly affected by the erratic and dangerous behaviour of Sasha’s older brother.
Set between the 1990s and the present day, the film uses a series of fragmented memories to explore the uncertain and unreliable nature of childhood recollection. The narrative presents family life through moments of tenderness, uncertainty and upheaval rather than as a straightforward account of the past.
In the present-day part of the story, Sasha is a filmmaker who revisits her formative experiences. Her return is an attempt to understand the lasting effect of family trauma and the way memory can influence identity and the stories people carry with them.
Screening information
The Destination South Ayrshire listing describes the film as an intimate exploration of migration, family bonds and the search for meaning. It also characterises the drama as poignant, beautifully observed and emotionally resonant.
The listing displays a figure of 6 and specifies a £3 ticket price for people aged under 25. It does not clearly identify the meaning of the separate figure or provide a full standard ticket price, so prospective attendees may wish to confirm ticket arrangements before booking.
Additional information for the venue includes disabled access and free Wi-Fi. The listing gives Ayr Town Hall’s telephone number as 01292 283435 and provides options to send an email or find the venue on Facebook and Instagram.
For local filmgoers, the February event offers an opportunity to see Romvari’s first feature in an Ayr town-hall setting. The film’s focus on migration, family relationships, difficult memories and the lasting effects of childhood experience provides the central context for the screening.
