ISH + Q&A

We're delighted to welcome director Imran Perretta, actor/singer Joy Crookes, Dhiraj Mahey (producer) for an in-person Q&A following the film. 


Set and filmed in Luton, Ish follows 12-year-old best friends Ish (Farhan Hasnat) and Maram (Yahya Kitana), who wrestle to hold onto their friendship in the wake of a police stop and search.

As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how letting go can be the hardest part of growing up.

Written and directed by acclaimed artist Imran Perretta and co-written by Enda Walsh (Hunger), Ish was shot by cinematographer Jermaine Canute Edwards (My Father’s Shadow) and also stars singer-songwriter Joy Crookes.
