A 20th-anniversary, new edit of Graham Fellows’ much loved comedy documentary It’s Nice Up North starring his alter ego John Shuttleworth. 
This screening tour is presented as a tribute to the late Martin Parr, the celebrated photographer who shot the movie, and whose distinctive eye is central to the movie’s charm and enduring appeal.

It’s Nice Up North follows the legendary comic character John Shuttleworth on a gently absurd journey through the Shetland Islands to test the theory that the further north you go, the nicer people become. 
Foiled by failing light, let down by a flat car battery, and buffeted by the constant wind, John doggedly pursues his quest; asking everyone he meets the all important question; ‘Is it nice up North?’ 
Co-starring Shetland tour guide, Elma Johnson, as herself, and featuring the inspiring music of Shetland folk ensemble Fiddlers Bid.

“A hilarious spoof travelogue" (Metro)‘Utterly inspired’ MARC LEE, TELEGRAPH

Graham Fellows will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A, and to discuss his on and off screen relationship with Martin Parr and how the photographer chose to adapt his legendary techniques to a film camera and crew on a remote Scottish island. 
Includes a short film about Martin Parr.
