Production and release of Andrew Haigh film ‘A Long Winter’

Overview

Director Andrew Haigh is developing ‘A Long Winter’, a survival drama based on a short story by Colm Tóibín. The production, filmed in a remote area near Calgary, Canada, involved building a family home in extreme weather conditions. Haigh has described the film as a ‘more delicate version’ of ‘The Revenant’.

Following its production, the film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. Set in the early 1950s in the Rocky Mountains, the story follows a young man named Mike as he navigates queer identity and family dynamics after his mother disappears during a harsh winter. Critics have characterized the film as a ‘restrained and poignant study of grief, desire, and survival’.
