Back in 2002, Warp Film’s first release was Chris Morris’ short film My Wrongs#8245-8249 & 117, which won a BAFTA in 2003. Their début feature, Shane Meadow’s Dead Man’s Shoes, came along in 2004 and they’ve never looked back. They’ve amassed an impressive back catalogue over he last decade including Submarine, Tyrannosaur, This is England, Rubber Jonny, Kill List and Four Lions. Warp are arguably the driving force in British film innovation, and to celebrate their 10th birthday, some special events are taking place around Sheffield.
