Hull
Film is delighted to announce that it will hold an exclusive screening Martin
Radich’s inventive and experimental feature film CRACK WILLOW on
Tuesday 27th January at Hull Screen. The film is a bold and often
disturbing tale of a man who struggles with death and loneliness as we follow
him on a journey that is both an intimate examination of family life and a
kaleidoscopic explosion of dark and twisted imagery.....
.. ..
The
film is the debut of talented director Martin Radich who Hull Film aficionados
will know after he won the 2008 GLIMMER Best UK Short Award sponsored by Hull
Trains for his beautiful and challenging film Dog’s Mercury. His
uncompromising and unique style is used to its fullest effect in a film that,
after it’s screening at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, was
described by The Scotsman as containing scenes of “…sustained,
freaked-out, demented terror that ranks alongside the best of David Lynch for
its ability to ratchet up an atmosphere of sheer dread.”....
Hull Film director Laurence Boyce said:....
“At
Hull Film we are passionate about brining audiences a wide and varied selection
of films that will push the boundaries of their expectations and redefine their
ideas of what cinema can be. It’s great that we can be one of the first few
people in the country to let them see Crack Willow a film that –
whilst it may not be for everyone – shows that UK filmmaking is as bold and
exciting today as it ever was. We’re also excited to be following the career of
a director whose work we admire and have supported in previous years in
GLIMMER, the Hull International Short Film Festival and hope that this is the
first of many brilliant feature films from Martin.”....
Crack Willow is funded by Warp Films, a company that has created some of
the most exciting pieces of British film making in the last five years. It has
won numerous plaudits and awards (including three BAFTAs) since being set up in
2002 with film such as Dead Man’s Shoes, This Is England and Paddy
Consindine’s debut short Dog Altogether (screened during GLIMMER 2008). Warp
Films' development slate currently includes projects with directors Shane
Meadows, Chris Morris, Chris Cunningham, Richard Ayoade, David Slade and Lynne
Ramsay. You can find out more about Warp
