CFF: The Thing With Feathers + Q&A

Dir. Dylan Southern | 2025 | 104 mins | English

Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a mesmerising performance in the highly anticipated screen adaptation of Max Porter’s award-winning novel Grief Is the Thing with Feathers.

After the tragic loss of his wife, a grieving father struggles to raise his young sons while confronting an unlikely, unpredictable houseguest — Crow (voiced by David Thewlis), a chaotic figure who bursts from the pages of a book to peck at open wounds and guide them through grief in his own unsettling way. Director Dylan Southern brings striking visual poetry to this soulful exploration of loss, chaos and redemption.

Also featuring Vinette Robinson and Sam Spruell – The Thing With Feathers is a haunting meditation on love, mourning and the strange beauty of survival.

"An inescapably compelling drama" Audrey Fox, Looper
