Irish Premiere

On a Friday night, after hanging out with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a nightclub, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen. And so begins a weekend – in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex – that will resonate throughout their lives.

Astonishingly self-assured, unassumingly profound. It is one of the most satisfying love stories you are likely to see on screen this year.New York Times

The director will be in attendance.

Quinnford + Scout

The stills photographers who worked on ‘Weekend’ are an Irish couple, Colin and Oisin. They met with the director, Andrew Haigh, during preproduction and Andrew has stated in interviews that their photographic aesthetics greatly informed the look of his film.

Colin and Oisin’s work is intimate without being voyeuristic, with shades of unforced romance and hints of the magic of everyday life.

Check out their own photography and their work on ‘Weekend’ here.
