After premièring at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival, Niall MacCormick’s first feature film Albatross is getting a UK release this October. The film caused quite a stir when it opening in the Burg, and we’re happy to report that we’ve got its first trailer wriggling happily on our pages.

Albatross follows a troubled young girl named Romilda who stumbles into the lives of a seaside B&B owner, his wife and his daughter.
