The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford

Running time: 95 mins

Directed by debut filmmaker Se�n Dunn, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is an offbeat, darkly funny character study starring Scottish screen legend and BAFTA nominee 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 Peter Mullan, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is the story of a man struggling to find his place in the contemporary world; exploring themes of identity and loss through a tender, eccentric, and quintessentially British lens.
