Ali & Ava | Music Supervision

Both lonely for different reasons, Ali and Ava meet through their shared affection for Sofia, the child of Ali’s Slovakian tenants, whom Ava teaches.  Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness and Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. Over a lunar month, sparks fly and a deep connection begins to grow. However, the legacy of Ava’s past relationship and Ali’s emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage begins to overshadow their newfound passion. 

Enveloped in music and imbued with humour, Ali & Ava is a compelling contemporary love story written & directed by BAFTA-nominated Clio Barnard (The ArborThe Selfish GiantDark River).

Connie Farr and Dom Farley handled the music supervision for the film, which features music by Sylvan Esso, The Specials and Bob Dylan.

Ali & Ava premiers in July as part of of Directors’ fortnight at Cannes film festival.
