2025 | UK | 98’

Following the death of his wife, a young father’s hold on reality crumbles, and a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons. A man-like crow, seemingly brought to life from the father’s work as an illustrator, is about to become a very real part of all their lives, ultimately guiding them towards the new shape their family must take.

Written and directed by Dylan Southern, The Thing with Feathers is an adaptation of Max Porter’s award-winning debut novel. Oscar-nominee Benedict Cumberbatch delivers an exceptional performance as the grieving father visited by a mysterious crow, voiced by David Thewlis, in this lyrical exploration of love, loss, and the strange ways we heal.  World premiere at Sundance 2025.
