The city is taking centre stage in a new year-in-the-life documentary called ‘Liverpool Story’

Shut Out The Light Films is delighted to announce that their new documentary film ‘Liverpool Story’ will be released in UK cinemas from 21st November 2024.

Liverpool Story is an intimate documentary directed, written and produced by Daniel Draper (Dennis Skinner: Nature of the Beast, Almost Liverpool 8, Manifesto) and produced and edited by Christie Allanson.

In this year-in-the-life documentary centred around Liverpool, its communities and culture, we find beauty in the ordinary and see life in the city from a fresh perspective.

Mirroring the ebb and flow of the River Mersey, themes of home, belonging and memory unfold over the passing seasons in this heartfelt documentary.

Director Daniel Draper said:

“Liverpool’s become a go-to destination for productions – easily disguised as London, New York, Moscow or even Gotham City. Given this, I thought it was time to make Liverpool the leading lady of her own film.

I spent a year walking and filming the streets of the place I call home, documenting how a city operates over a single year and ultimately making a film about humans; the importance of community, fragile memories and the passing of time.”

The theatrical release for ‘Liverpool Story’ is 21 November and there will be a Premiere at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, 21st November at 7.30pm – get tickets here
