Upcoming: BIFF To Screen ‘Tyrannosaur’
BIFF announced that it will be screening this month’s BIFFlix film, Tyrannosaur, twice this Sunday [Nov.27] in response to demand.
Tyrannosaur won both Sundance Film Festival’s World Cinema Jury Prize for Breakout Performances and the World Cinema Directing Awards. Just last month, it also picked up seven nominations for The Moet British Independent Film Awards.
Joseph (Peter Mullan, Boy A) is an unemployed widower with a drinking problem, a man crippled by his own volatile temperament and furious anger.
Hannah (Olivia Colman, Hot Fuzz) is a Christian worker at a charity shop, a respectable woman who seems wholesome and happy. When circumstance brings the pair together, Hannah appears as Joseph’s guardian angel, tempering his fury and offering him warmth, kindness and acceptance.
As their relationship develops, Hannah’s own secrets are revealed – her husband (Eddie Marsan, Happy-Go-Lucky) is violent and abusive – and Joseph emerges as her unlikely saviour.
With striking performances and a deeply felt story, actor-turned-writer/director Paddy Considine’s film is a stunning debut about the emergence of grace and redemption from the least likely of places.
Andrew Stoneham, BIFFlix coordinator, says: “We having been playing around with time slots for the BIFFlix series to better suit our audience. Last month, we moved over to a Sunday screening and drew our biggest audience yet.
“Now with two screenings in response to the feedback we have received, we hoping to make BIFFlix even more successful. The money we generate from ticket sales will go into the staging of the 15th annual Bermuda International Film Festival in March 2012.”
Tickets are available in advance on www.tickets.biff.bm or at the door on the day from 4pm. Tickets are price at $9 for BIFF members and $13 for non-members. For reservations or enquiries email programming@biff.bm.
