Very happy to share the news that ‘On Falling’ has been nominated for two BAFTA Scotland Awards!

We made this film in Scotland with the best people! Huge thanks to all our incredible actors, HODs and crew. This film wouldn’t be the same without you.

Algo deprimente y muy cetrera. La película que le hubiera gustado hacer a Ken Loach si fuera portugués.

Abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain is racist, cruel and would tear families apart.

This cannot be allowed to happen and we must stand together and fight it.

Nigel Farage is shamelessly copying Donald Trump's playbook.

For decades, politicians and the media have attacked refugees and migrants. Now even the rights of documented migrants are under threat.
As many of us have warned: an attack on one is an attack on all of us.

Abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain is racist, cruel and would tear families apart. This cannot be allowed to happen and we must stand together and fight it.

Mientras ves On Falling, de la portuguesa Laura Carreira, sobre el trabajo hoy como medio de simple supervivencia piensas en un Ken Loach minimalista, austero, desnudo, luego ves que el inglés participa como productor. Una película sin concesiones, cruda como la vida misma.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

If you like the films of Ken Loach, why not try

📦 ON FALLING

Another outstanding directorial debut, this time from Portuguese filmmaker Laura Carreira. This bleak portrayal of the gig economy is exceptional, essential viewing.

This brooding adaptation of Jim Crace’s Booker-shortlisted novel about a village imperilled by outsiders is uncomfortably topical
