Narrative Feature

    Regional Premiere
Synopsis:
Wah-Wah is a semi-autobiographical 'coming of age at the end of an Age' story, told through the eyes of young Ralph Compton. Set during the last gasp of the British Empire in Swaziland, South East Africa, in 1969, the plot focuses on the dysfunctional Compton family whose gradual disintegration mirrors the end of British rule.
Director's Bio:
As an actor, Richard E. Grant can regularly be seen in Robert Altman's films, including 2001's Gosford Park. Wah-Wah is his first film as director and screen-writer.
