Synopsis

The opening night screening is now sold out in both Screen 1 and Screen 2. There are still tickets available for the Saturday morning screening.

When an indecisive people pleaser is running late for the world's busiest day, his misguided decisions escalate towards a single choice that risks everything he holds dear.

Adapted from a one man show at the Edinburgh fringe, Harvey Greenfield is that rare thing at KFF, an out and out comedy, featuring a host of familiar faces, from Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Ted Lasso and Blue Peter.

Winner of the Best International Feature at the 2023 Dublin International Comedy Film Festival.

Writer and performer Paul Richards, whose one-man Edinburgh Fringe show inspired Harvey Greenfield is Running Late, will be at the Alhambra to introduce the film and take part in a Q&A alongside Director, Jonnie Howard on Thursday 6th March at the Alhambra.

They will be joined by members of the production team and actor/musician Graham Parker, whose band Graham Parker and the Rumour lit up the indie/pub rock scene back in the 1970’s. Graham’s music features in the film as does local singer, Sophia Grice.

The feature film will be preceded by A Light that Never Fades (dir Mike Tweddle, 19 mins)

A National Lottery supported short film telling the extraordinary story of the first black professional footballer, Arthur Wharton.

Derek Griffiths MBE portrays Arthur near the end of his life in a fictionalised moment when former teammates visit him, prompting him to reflect on his legacy and the struggles he faced as a person of colour in Victorian England.

Additional screening: Saturday 8th March 9:15am The Alhambra
