'ARTHUR & CLARA', the feature debut from writer-director Kieran Bourne, has unveiled its official teaser ahead of its world premiere at the Austin Film Festival on October 31, 2026.
The contemporary romantic drama stars CJ Beckford, whose credits include A Thousand Blows and Blitz, alongside BAFTA-nominated Mirren Mack, seen in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Hedda.
Arthur is a pretentious Black filmmaker trying to escape the pressures surrounding him, while Clara is an entitled high-profile actress searching for an escape of her own.
When the pair unexpectedly find themselves staying at the same rural farmhouse, they initially have little interest in connecting with one another.
But as their defences begin to fall, shared vulnerability takes Arthur and Clara on an accidental journey of self-discovery, revealing what it truly means to be seen by another person.
'ARTHUR & CLARA' marks the first feature production from BAFTA-nominated Candid Broads Productions, working alongside Bourne on the independent production.
The film was shot on location in Kent earlier in 2026.
