Synopsis

The Survivalist is a 2015 British post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller film written and directed by Stephen Fingleton. It stars Martin McCann, Mia Goth and Olwen Fouéré. Set after a catastrophic global population collapse, the film centres on a solitary man defending his woodland cabin and vegetable plot whose precarious routine is disrupted by the arrival of a mother and daughter, forcing uneasy bargains and escalating violence. The screenplay was developed through Northern Ireland Screen's New Talent Focus scheme and appeared on the Hollywood Black List and the Brit List of unproduced screenplays. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015 and later screened at the BFI London Film Festival. It was released in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2016, followed by a limited theatrical release in the United States in 2017. The Survivalist received critical acclaim and won the Douglas Hickox Award at the 2015 British Independent Film Awards.
