Voted second place in our Audience Choice Award at this year's Chichester International Film Festival, Santiago speaks to some of today’s deepest aspirations: slowing down, reconnecting with nature and finding meaning beyond the noise of modern life, along with the notion that a second chance can help teenagers in conflict find their way again.

The film is not due to be released until 2027, but due to it's success at the Film Festival we are one of the only venues in the UK allowed to show Santiago prior to its release date!
