“Urchin” is a British independent drama film written and directed by Harris Dickinson, in his feature-length directorial debut, that stars Frank Dillane as a homeless young man in London, struggling with addiction and poverty. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section, where Dickinson won the FIPRESCI Prize and Dillane won the section’s Best Actor award. Dickinson and Daillane were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experience working on the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release from 1-2 Special. Thank you, and enjoy!
