Short film All Of This Unreal Time starring Cillian Murphy is to have its London premiere at the Southbank Centre.

Oscar-winner and Peaky Blinders star Murphy (48) plays the nameless main character of the short, which was shot around London during the pandemic and takes the form of a “visual poem”, according to the actor.

It will be screened at the Royal Festival Hall in London on December 6th and Factory International in Manchester on December 7th.

The events will be followed by a Q&A with members of the creative team and live performances of new work inspired by the film from composers Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Jon Hopkins.

Murphy said: “All Of This Unreal Time is a project I have deep affection for.

“It was made in the bleak depths of a pandemic, yet comes from a place of pure collaboration and love.

“We wanted to make a visual poem that scratches at concerns about masculinity, society and personal responsibility, all of that knotty difficult stuff, but make it with an open and a broken heart.”
