Manchester Film Festival: ‘Santosh’, ‘The Penguin Lessons’ & ‘Last Swim’ Among Titles Set To Screen


Manchester Film Festival is set to run from March 14 - 23.

Based on the best-selling memoir, the film tells the story of an Englishman’s personal and political awakening during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history, brought about by his unlikely adoption of a penguin. This includes the Manchester premiere of the UK’s Oscar selection Santosh from Sandhya Suri, Sundance, and Cannes hit Good One directed by India Donaldson, and South by Southwest Audience Award Winner My Dead Friend Zoe from Kyle Hausmann-Stokes. “We are so excited to be based at two new venues in the city centre in 2025 – HOME and AVIVA Studios – both of which feel like a perfect fit for our festival, our audience, and the Manchester film community.
