, also fresh from Cannes, shows up in a non-competitive Gala, whilst the opening film My Mother’s Wedding, helmed by another respected actor in Kristin Scott Thomas, first premiered at Toronto all the way back in 2023. 

Artistic director Dominique Green made the following statement: “We are questioning what makes a British or Irish film. How do we define the nationality of a film beyond formal co-production treaties and cultural tests? We are seeing a growing number of informal international cooperations. As demographics transform societies and populations change, so do the stories being told. Whether telling the story of a small village or vast continents; characters and plots, passions and emotions, laughter and tears all launch British and Irish films beyond their home borders onto an international stage and it is this which we celebrate.” Her words come amidst a new era for Franco-British collaboration, with the BFI and CNC recently signing a new Moving Image Co-operationg Agreement (see the news).
