Films We Like is honoured to announce the acquisition of Canadian theatrical rights to A Long Winter, the newest feature from filmmaker Andrew Haigh. A MUBI production made with Film4, The Bureau and Alberta-based Nomadic Pictures, A Long Winter was filmed in Alberta and will have its Canadian premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, where it has been selected for the prestigious Special Presentations programme.
A Long Winter is set in the mountains as autumn draws to a close and a family prepares for the long winter ahead.
Adapted for the screen by Haigh from the short story by celebrated Irish author Colm Tóibín, A Long Winter features an extraordinary ensemble cast led by Fred Hechinger, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Caitríona Balfe, Kit Connor and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, alongside Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and David Furr.
Films We Like will release A Long Winter theatrically across Canada in partnership with MUBI. Release details will be announced shortly.
