Two troubled migrant workers in a Bradford car wash are dragged into an escalating moral crisis as night falls.
When two migrant labourers discover the body of an illegal colleague on site, they drive out to the isolated and unfamiliar hills to quickly dispose of the problem. When one demands to perform the dead man his rightful Islamic burial, nerves begin to fray and as the long and bitter winter night closes in on them, the two men must find a way to work out their differences if they're to stand any chance of saving themselves and their sanity.
Filmed in Bradford and the wintry expanse of the Yorkshire Dales by local filmmaker Jack King and winner of the Edinburgh International Film Festival’s Sean Connery Award in 2024, The Ceremony tells an affecting story of two souls conflicted by their personal differences but bound by their common humanity and unwavering sense of morality.
The screening on Friday 29 August will be followed by a live Q&A with director Jack King and Producer Hollie Bryon.
