Admitting that he is not always open and intimate in his conversations with loved ones, the BAFTA-winning Scottish filmmaker sets out to define masculinity in the modern age – what makes men tick and, more importantly, coming to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental.

The questions asked in Silent Men may seem simple, but their answers betray underlying tensions, as Cowles’ subjects make all too clear. The film grapples with being able to express oneself as a man – to become someone at peace with themselves, their life and the ones they love.

This screening will include a recorded introduction by Andy’s Man Club.

Andy’s Man Club is a male suicide prevention charity operating free talking groups for men over 18 every Monday at 7.00pm excluding bank holidays. The charity takes its name from Andy Roberts, a young man who took his own life with no prior warning back in 2016. His family joined together to create a legacy for Andy in the hope that no families would have to go through the same trauma that the Roberts family faced.
