Albatross

Directed by BAFTA-nominated Niall MacCormick (Margaret Thatcher: The Long Road to Finchley), Albatross is a funny and moving coming-of-age story starring this year’s hottest rising stars Felicity Jones (Cemetery Junction, Chalet Girl, Like Crazy) and Jessica Brown-Findlay (Downton Abbey) plus Sebastian Koch (The Lives of Others, Black Book) and Julia Ormond (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). My Summer of Love meets An Education, the film tells the story of a family whose world is turned upside down when the beautiful and rebellious Emelia explodes into their lives.

 "Niall MacCormick who makes his feature film debut gives the film a beautifully golden glow that brilliantly complements the warmth of the screenplay by first time writer Tamzin Rafin" EIFF

SEG secured some great source tracks for the film, including amongst others some specially written songs by Kirsty Almeida  & her band, & tracks by The Editors, Vampire Weekend & Perez Prado.

Jack Arnold composed a score for the film that was both quirky, humorous and beautifully moving.
