Advertorialized article about a film, not
properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing
WP:NFILM. The main notability claim being attempted here is that it was nominated for and/or won awards at minor film festivals that aren't prominent enough to clinch an instant notability freebie in the absence of
WP:GNG-worthy sourcing -- we're looking for major film festivals on the order of Cannes, Berlin, Venice, TIFF or Sundance, not just any small-fry film festival that exists on earth. But the referencing here is more than half
primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and what's left for media coverage is a couple of hits in small weekly community hyperlocals that aren't widely-distributed enough to add up to a GNG pass if they're the only media coverage this has.
As I don't have access to archives of British media to determine whether the film had stronger coverage a decade ago than it's citing, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with such access can find enough to salvage it -- but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced better than this, and the blatant advertorialism present in the article means it would have to be substantially rewritten regardless.
