#FIRSTLOOK: “BIRD” NEW TRAILER

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, releases the new trailer and new artwork for Andrea Arnold’s (American Honey, Fish Tank, Cow) latest feature film Bird, in theatres in Canada from November 8, 2024.

The long-awaited return to fiction storytelling from Academy-Award®-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank), Bird is a tender, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable about marginalised life in the fringes of contemporary society. Featuring remarkable performances from Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Franz Rogowski (Passages), and astounding newcomer Nykiya Adams as the latest in the filmmaker’s canon of indelible heroines.

12-year-old Bailey (Adams) lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Keoghan) and wayward brother Hunter (Jason Buda) in a squat in Gravesend, north Kent. Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure, Bailey’s fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird (Rogowski), a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own.

Bird received its World Premiere in Competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It was produced by House Productions (The Iron Claw, The Wonder) and was filmed in the UK around the Kent area. Financiers include BBC Film, the BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), Pinky Promise, FirstGen Content and Access Entertainment.

BIRD WILL BE IN THEATRES IN CANADA ON NOVEMBER 8, 2024
