Devon, England. 1905. A letter from Tzar Nicholas to Lord Bartlett recounts the Bloody Sunday Massacre in Saint Petersburg, and becomes the catalyst for an Edwardian woman's rebellion against her oppressive husband. Risking everything Helen leaves her marital home, pushing her sick father in a wooden flower cart. She meets Lord Shalborne who offers her shelter on his estate, but when Shalborne unwittingly invests in her husband’s corrupt scheme’s Helen becomes a pawn in a gentleman’s game and finds that courage may not be enough to overcome the patriarchy of her time.
‘Shalborne’ is filmed in Devon and tells the story of an Edwardian woman’s fight against patriarchal ideology. It is Caroline Corrie’s first feature film in which she writes, directs and plays Helen as well as making the costumes, props and sets and producing. It was awarded ‘Best Foreign Feature’ at the Female Eye Film festival, Toronto in July 2024 and has been enjoying a sell-out tour of Devon cinemas. Film Critic Kevin Mayer described this “visual feast” as “the most audacious and accomplished calling card I have seen in years”.
