We can't wait to attend a very special preview showing of ALI and AVA this evening at City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds. Hosted by our friends at Hyde Park Picture House, ALI and AVA is an award-winning contemporary love story written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant). Enveloped in music, humour and emotion, ALI and AVA was filmed close by in Bradford.

‍

Sparks fly after ALI and AVA meet through their shared affection for Sofia, the child of Ali’s tenants whom Ava teaches. Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness while Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. As the pair begin to form a deep connection they have to find a way to keep their newfound passion from being overshadowed by the stresses and struggles of their separate lives and histories.
‍

ALI and AVA has already won Best Actor for Adeel Aktar and Best Music by BIFA (British Independent Film Awards) and is also nominated for BAFTA's (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for Best British Film and Best Actor for Adeel.
