MOTHERBOARD is a smartphone feature exploring motherhood, filmed over 20 years by BAFTA award-winning director Victoria Mapplebeck. It charts the joy, pain and comedy of raising a child alone.
At the age of 38, Victoria Mapplebeck found herself single, pregnant and broke. Unable to combine motherhood with freelance directing, she was forced to abandon her career in TV, instead turning the camera on herself and her son, Jim.
Filmed over two decades, Victoria has recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs-up he gave her during her first pregnancy scan to his first day at college
MOTHERBOARD charts the real-life comedy and the roller coaster of solo parenting. Victoria captures a life where both she and Jim survive her breast cancer diagnosis, two generations of absent fathers and Jim’s rollercoaster teen years
MOTHERBOARD navigates the highs and lows of unromanticized parenting, where chaos rules. Honest, funny and infinitely relatable, MOTHERBOARD is the antidote to the unrealistic expectations we have about motherhood, and a film for anyone who wants to see family life in all its unfiltered glory.This is an in-person event, free entrance with booked tickets.
The Liverpool Doc Club and the Unity Theatre are partnering to present the event.
The event includes a Q&A with director Victoria Mappelbeck and welcomes audience participation.
