Full details of the UK and Ireland theatrical release of Manchester International Film Festival award winner Wait For Me in June have been announced.
The film, which picked up the festival’s Best Director award for Keith Farrell of Manchester’s Old Hall Films, was picked up for theatrical distribution by Munro Film in the wake of its MANIFF2023 debut.
The main UK and Ireland release on June 2 will be preceded by two Q&A screenings at the Parkway Cinema in Cleethorpes, where much of the film was shot, on May 25 and Belfast’s Queen’s Film Theatre on May 27. The film will then open in a number of cinemas across the North of England, Ireland, and Bristol from June 2.
Wait For Me, Farrell’s debut feature, centres on two outsiders who become entangled in the criminal underground and attempt to replace their lost families by starting new lives elsewhere.
