Ish

In this powerful debut feature, writer-director Imran Perretta movingly captures the fragile threshold between childhood and adolescence. by striking monochrome visuals, an evocative original score, authentic performances and an impressive screenplay co-written by Perretta and Enda Walsh, this award-winning drama explores friendship, resilience and the emotional cost of being seen as a threat rather than a child. Poetic yet grounded in the reality of everyday life in Luton, Ish is a timely and resonant story that heralds a bold new voice in British cinema.

At 8 PM: we’ll reconvene for a chat about the film in the BFI Benugo.
