I Am Weekender (2023): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2023, I Am Weekender is a notable film.

What it’s about. Wiz's Weekender (1992) was a film ahead of its time, both in form and content. It engaged with contemporary issues that mainstream media were eager to sensationalise. Consequently, it was branded with an 18 certificate and banned by both the BBC and ITV, never reaching a wider audience. For the past three decades, Weekender has bubbled just below the surface, gaining genuine cult status and influencing a vast network of creators. In the run-up to its thirtieth anniversary filmmakers Tabitha Denholm and Adam Dunlop interviewed people involved in the project. I Am Weekender is built around those conversations.

Who’s in it. I Am Weekender stars Lynne Ramsay as Self, Shaun Ryder as Self, Irvine Welsh as Self and Lee Whitlock as Self.
