We will be joined by director Sean Robert Dunn for a Q&A discussion after the film.

Directed by debut filmmaker Seán Dunn, The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford is an offbeat, darkly funny character study starring Scottish screen legend Peter Mullan.

The film follows Kenneth McKay (Mullan), a recent widower and enthusiastic tour guide at a dusty visitor center in the small town of Arberloch, dedicated to his alleged ancestor and notable Enlightenment figure Sir Douglas Weatherford. When Arberloch becomes a shooting location for a successful fantasy TV show and Sir Douglas’ local renown is threatened by the pop culture phenomenon, Kenneth’s world gets turned upside down and he takes it upon himself to preserve his legacy at any cost.

Anchored by a nuanced, standout performance by Mullan, the film explored themes of identity and loss through a tender, eccentric, and quintessentially British lens.
