Check out the new trailer for the winner of the Audience Award at SXSW Film Festival 2011 and the Jury Prize at Outfest 2011, WEEKEND! The film follows the unexpected 48 hours spent between Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) – after meeting at a nightclub on a Friday night – that will resonate throughout their lives. Director Andrew Haigh’s new film will release in New York on September 23, 2011, with a national rollout to follow.
One of the most significant discoveries of this year’s film festival circuit, WEEKEND is a delicate and daring drama that won the SXSW Emerging Visions Audience Award and Nashville Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize.
WEEKEND follows Russell (newcomer Tom Cullen, Best Actor winner at Nashville), who, after randomly picking up artist Glen (Chris New) at a nightclub on a Friday night, unexpectedly spends most of the next 48 hours with him in bedrooms and bars, telling stories and having sex, while developing a connection that will resonate throughout their lives. This affecting and naturalistic romance is beautifully realized, earning comparisons to Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise in its exploration of how two people can come together only briefly, yet impact each other in a profound way.
