12-year-old Bailey lives with her single dad Bug and brother Hunter in a squat in North Kent. Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids and Bailey who’s approaching puberty seeks attention and adventure elsewhere.

The latest from Academy-Award® winning writer-director Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank, American Honey), Bird stars BAFTA-winner and Academy-Award® nominee Barry Keoghan (Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn), Gotham-Award nominee Franz Rogowski (Passages, Great Freedom), and newcomers Nykiya Adams and Jason Buda. As with Arnold’s previous work, it’s an examination of life in the fringes of society.

68th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
