10th edition CIFF – 10-14 April 2024

The Old Oak

Ken Loach | United Kingdom | 2023 | 113 min | English | d.s.

The movie, part of the trilogy, I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You, is set in a small mining town in decline, where the last remaining pub has little chance of survival. Inevitable closure threatens the town´s only remaining social gathering place. The arrival of a group of Syrian refugees adds to the turmoil, fueling already latent feelings of unrest.

In the midst of this divided community, the pub owner cautiously tries to
bring the different worlds closer together. Socially conscious director Ken Loach, working with professional and non-professional actors, once again creates a moving story set in contemporary working-class England. Sincere, hopeful, and topical.
