Queer drama "In Transit" to have the global premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival

Valmora Productions, BKE Productions and Little Language Films announce that their tender queer drama "In Transit" will have its World Premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 17th August.

"In Transit" team said "'In Transit' is thrilled to World Premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Through EIFF, this female driven, queer story set in rural America will be showcased on a global stage. As filmmakers with ties to both the UK and Europe, we are honoured to premiere at this historic festival, a festival that has discovered and championed diverse filmmaking talent we admire. EIFF is the perfect home for our independent film and we are so grateful to premiere with the festival."

Directed by Jaclyn Bethany ("Tell That to the Winter Sea"), "In Transit" stars writer Alex Sarrigeorgiou as Lucy, Francois Arnaud ("Yellowjackets") as Tom, and Jennifer Ehle ("Zero Dark Thirty") as Ilse. In a small town in Maine, Lucy (Sarrigeorgiou) tends bar at the local dive where she’s worked for years, content in the rhythms of her quiet life with her longtime boyfriend, Tom (Arnaud). But when Ilse (Ehle), a mysterious older artist adrift in her own life, asks Lucy to model for her, each woman stirs in the other the possibility of a different kind of meaning. Just as Lucy learns the bar is being sold and the life she’s built may be slipping away, she has to reckon with what she truly wants.

Alongside the World Premiere, at the newly reopened Edinburgh Filmhouse, “In Transit" will have additional screenings at The Cameo, Vue Omni and the National Galleries of Scotland, tying beautifully into the film's artistic themes.
