UK director Mackenzie, whose most recent feature was 2014 prison drama Starred Up, debuted Young Adam at Cannes in 2003.

Hell And High Water marks Mackenzie’s first foray into the US and tells the story of a divorced father and his ex-con brother who resort to a desperate scheme in order to save their family farm in Texas.

Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges star and the film was written by Taylor Sheridan, who scripted Denis Villeneuve’s Cannes 2015 Competition title Sicario.
