Man on Earth
Editor
Bob is a 65 year old Jewish New Yorker who went to Woodstock at 15, designed bathrooms for Elton John and Janet Jackson and is funny and full of life. He also only has one week to live. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Bob has decided to end his own life using Death with Dignity laws and MAN ON EARTH is the inspiring, surprisingly funny and heartbreaking portrait of Bob's last week on earth. With unflinching intimacy and incredibly unique access, our film follows Bob as he tries to make peace with his family, the love of his life and himself, right up until he takes his last breath. Deeply compassionate, MAN ON EARTH is a meditation on time and mortality, asking the big questions, “How do we face death when it comes?” and “What does it mean to live a complete life?” Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Amiel Courtin- Wilson with sound design by Academy Award Winner Robert Mackenzie, MAN ON EARTH is a cinematic journey with an unforgettable human being. Bob will stay with you forever.

A young woman home alone receives a call from a stranger, a young man asking her to the pictures. She declines but later finds the man with a knife standing in her dining room. He wants to have sex with her and seems confused about whether his intentions are brutal or romantic. Seeing his confusion and fear she talks him into letting her go outside to bring the washing. He holds his knife at her back – she realises she has no chance of escape. As they are walking back across the lawn to the house she is stung by a bee. She collapses. Weeping she tells him she is allergic to bees and convinces him to go inside to get vinegar from the kitchen to stop the swelling. As soon as he is out of sight she is up and running in one fluid movement. The intruder is left standing desolate on the lawn with the vinegar bottle – his fantasy unravelled.
