The cinematic landscape is abuzz with anticipation as renowned filmmaker Alex Garland’s latest offering, “Civil War,” will herald the commencement of the much-awaited Red Lorry Film Festival. This festival marks its prestigious debut with Garland’s movie leading the charge, as announced by the festival’s organizers.
Set against the grandeur of Maison Inox and Madison PVR located at the BKC, the Red Lorry Film Festival will span three days from April 5 to April 7. During this time, attendees will be treated to an impressive catalogue of over 100 titles, showcasing a diverse mix of feature films and television series spanning multiple languages, including but not limited to English, French, Spanish, German, Turkish, and Russian.
The festival’s slate underscores its global reach and commitment to cinematic diversity, boasting partnerships with film industry titans such as Sony Pictures, Warner Bros, Disney, Lionsgate, TrustNordisk, and Indie Sales. The festival has been expertly curated by none other than BookMyShow, a name synonymous with premier entertainment experiences.
“Civil War” embodies a cinematic journey set in a dystopian future portraying America at the precipice of a rapidly intensifying second Civil War. As the nation finds itself cleaved between the authoritative federal government and the rebellious ‘Western Forces’ fronted by the likes of Texas and California, the stage is set for an electrifying narrative.
Garland weaves a tale focusing on a group of intrepid journalists who undertake a treacherous cross-country mission amidst the chaos of national strife. This compelling story is brought to life by a stellar ensemble cast, featuring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman.

The anticipation for “Civil War” extends beyond the festival, with an Indian theatrical release scheduled for April 19th. This allows the broader audience to immerse themselves in Garland’s visionary tale of a divided America and its search for truth amidst chaos.
