Departures: On the red carpet with Jake Haymes, Jacob Partali, Tyler Conti and Ali Afzal at BFI Flare 2025

Departures is an emotional ride, a comedy drama based on Lloyd Eyre Martin’s real heartbreak. The young director also plays the main role in the film, making his feature an exposure of his personal experiences where fiction and reality intertwine. This witty joyride is one for all the viewers who belong to a club of lonely hearts. Departures will make you reconcile with your past and realise that everyone can fall in love again.
Jake Haymes and Jacob Partali discussed shooting Departures and playing younger versions of the film’s main heroes at the BFI Flare premiere in London.
Tyler Conti and Ali Afzal explained the role of their background characters in Departures and what makes this movie so special.
