Academy award and BAFTA-winning filmmaker and triple Cannes Jury Prize recipient Andrea Arnold returns with her sixth feature film, BIRD.

Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn't have much time to devote to them. Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere.

Arnold is famous for presenting an intoxicating fusion of the real and the cinematic, mixing professional and non-professional actors in genuinely lived-in environments, which are lent poetic lustre by her partnership with cinematographer, Robbie Ryan. Her previous titles include AMERICAN HONEY (CIFF 2016), COW, FISH TANK and RED ROAD.
