More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Titles playing in competition include My Father\u2019s Shadow<\/em> by Akinola Davies, Mr Burton<\/em> by Marc Evans, The Damned<\/em> by Thordur Palsson, The Thing with Feathers<\/em> by Dylan Southern, and Dragonfly<\/em> by Paul Andrew Williams.<\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s opening film will be Kristin Scott Thomas\u2019s My Mother\u2019s Wedding<\/em>. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham. The film follows three sisters who return to their childhood home for a momentous weekend: the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother, Diana Frost. The three daughters are from very different walks of life: Georgina is a hospice nurse; Victoria is a Hollywood star; and Katherine is a Captain in the Royal Navy. Over the weekend, the family gathers to celebrate the new marriage, but mother and daughters alike are forced to revisit the past and confront the future, all with help from a colorful group of unexpected wedding guests.<\/p>\n

The festival will close with The Penguin Lessons<\/em> by Peter Cattaneo. Based on the true story of Tom Michell and his memoir of the same name, the film follows Tom, a disillusioned Englishman who heads to Argentina to work for a prestigious boarding school as an English teacher. In light of the political turmoil taking place around and his classroom of unteachable adolescents, Tom expects that his life cannot get any more hectic \u2013 that is, until he takes a trip to neighboring Uruguay and is unintentionally roped into caring for a penguin he rescues from an oil-slicked beach.<\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s gala screening will be Urchin<\/em> by Harris Dickinson. Scroll down<\/strong> for the full festival lineup.<\/p>\n
