Gerard Johnson presents: Hyena
Part of the Retrospective: The Future Is History Strand
Perfectly underpinned by an eerie, hypnotic soundtrack courtesy of his brother Matt, Gerard Johnson’s state of the art crime story/character study follows in the great tradition of classic British thrillers such as The Long Good Friday by cleverly allowing both era and location to become far more than just a backdrop to the drama. With first class support from Stephen Graham and Neil Maskell, Peter Ferdinando delivers another absolutely extraordinary performance; Hyena verifies his position as one of the finest British screen actors of his generation. Hyena premiered at the opening gala of EIFF 2014. This is another great chance to see this British thriller on a big screen.
