An urban fairytale from the backstreets of Manchester. It is Christmas Eve and everyone is getting ready for the big day; everyone that is, except Anthony, a strange, enigmatic being who wakes up in the street, not knowing where he is or what he’s here to do. But Anthony has a remarkable ability: the power to find the lost… But is Anthony’s ability real, or just an illusion?

We are delighted to announce that we will be joined at the screening by Eddie Izzard (Anthony), Larry Mills (Goose), John Hay (Writer/Director), David Logan (Writer), Elliot Jenkins (Producer) and Sue Nott (Executive Producer). Please note Lost Christmas is most suitable for children aged 8 and above.

The British comedy star and actor, along with director Steve Barron, were in Cannes to promote Treasure Island, the RHI-produced film whose partners include Sky, who will air the feature in the UK this Christmas.

Izzard plays Long John Silver, but guarantees no “arrrr”s or “Jim lad”s: this is a gritty, realistic and muscular rendition of the classic tale. “We wanted this punk element”, said the star.
