LOST IN FRANCE



Still Films and Edge City Films proudly announce the release of LOST IN FRANCE

From the heart of Glasgow comes a story of friendship, memory and making music.

LOST IN FRANCE is now in cinemas in the UK (Curzon/Artificial Eye) and in Ireland from 3rd March (Wildcard Distribution . UK TICKET INFO HERE and IRISH TICKET INFO HERE

In Glasgow in the mid-1990s, flourishing indie rock band The Delgados established cult record label Chemikal Underground, heralding a renaissance of independent music in the city that would bring the likes of Mogwai, Arab Strap and Franz Ferdinand to the world.

LOST IN FRANCE, the exhilarating new documentary from Niall McCann, explores the rise of this Glaswegian music scene, revisiting a defining, chaotic trip to France in the musicians’ early careers. Featuring a stunning mix of live performances and frequently hilarious interviews, the film reunites key label personnel in an intimate exploration of friendship, memory and making music.

On the journey, we revisit a defining, chaotic trip early in the musicians’ careers, re-staging a concert in Brittany that connects the characters in life (and on stage) for the first time in many years.

Hosted by the Glasgow Film Festival, LOST IN FRANCE screens as a nationwide cinema event on 21st February followed by an exclusive performance broadcast live via satellite from the Glasgow O2 ABC, featuring a supergroup including Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand), Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), RM Hubbert, Emma Pollock and Paul Savage (The Delgados).

The film and performance will be screened live to cinemas across Ireland and the UK. Tickets for the one-off screening and performance are on sale now at LOSTINFRANCEFILM.COM

We are delighted that special guests including, Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), Emma Pollock (ex-The Delgados, Chemikal Underground Records) and RM Hubbert (Chemikal Underground Records), and director Niall McCann will attend screenings on the opening weekend (other guests TBC).

An Irish-UK co-production funded by the Irish Film Board and Creative Scotland, LOST IN FRANCE was produced by Nicky Gogan for Still Flms and Paul Welsh for Edge City Films, and had its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
