Shot in black and white and set amongst Yorkshire's rugged hill country, Jack King's premiere feature, The Ceremony, tells a gripping story of two men thrust together by tragic circumstances. Cristi and Yusuf toil washing cars in Bradford as undocumented workers, trying to shield their troubled pasts. But after one of their coworkers dies under unclear circumstances, they are forced to embark on a fateful journey across the challenging terrain of the Dales.

Winner of the inaugural Sean Connery Prize for Filmmaking Excellence at Edinburgh International Film Festival

I found The Ceremony to be a very effective film ..(with).. some effective imagery and the overall experience was a powerful drama, making great use of the Yorkshire Dales and crafting a strong narrative on guilt and death.
