Sands International Film Festival Opens With Raucous Homecoming Screening Of Carey Mulligan Comedy ‘The Ballad Of Wallis Island’


Sands Film Festival runs until April 27.

The film follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan), back together. The weight of the Russos alongside Trzebiatowska, who is beloved by filmmakers and industry for her work at Poland’s Off Camera Film Festival and Sundance, where she is still a full-time programmer, gives the event access to an impressive list of guests who mix with local festivalgoers in the relaxed environment. The festival’s closing night film is John Maclean‘s survival thriller Tornado featuring Tim Roth, Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden and Japanese star Kōki.
