The Ballad of Wallis Island (12A) 20th-22nd June

THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND follows Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles desperately tries to salvage his dream gig.

“..funny, melancholy yarn of a folk duo reunited by oddball superfan. You’ll leave wanting your own island, your own gig and your own lock of Carey Mulligan’s hair.”
Catherine Bray, The Guardian

“A lovely, offbeat and very British comedy…An eccentric music fan lures his folk heroes to an island for a private performance, in a film which is warm, silly and gently moving.” Tim Robey, The Telegraph
