London based distributor Dogwoof brought BANANAS!* to UK cinemas on Friday 16th April with a two week run at Londons ICA and the Queens Film Theatre, Belfast. BANANAS!* has gone on to be booked in cinemas in every capital city in the UK with upcoming bookings in Cardiff and Edinburgh. Updated booking links will be published as and when they are live online and can be found here.
Dogwoof has a track record for bringing the best in socially minded and ethically aware films to UK cinemas and teaming these releases with innovative campaign to raise awareness of the films themselves and the issues surrounding them.
The Age of Stupid set a world record for the highest ever attendance at a film premiere for the satellite broadcast of its world premiere in April 9 while Burma VJ (Academy Award® nominee) was the first film ever screened at No. 10 Downing Street on the eve of the 64th Birthday of Burma’s detained former leader Aung San Sui Kyi.
I live near Bristol – will it be screened here or else where/when can I purchase a copy and what are the licencing requirements?

Will it be screening anywhere other than the ICA? Neither this site nor the ICA website give any further details.

We’ll be updating this site with new bookings as and when they’re made for Bananas!* in the UK.
We’re also planning to release the DVD of the film (along with plenty of great extras) in July.
We’ll keep everyone updated through this site for all of these plans.
Best,
Dogwoof
