Daniel Kaluuya’s Feature Directorial Debut The Kitchen to Close London Film Festival
Netflix’s dystopian London set thriller — which was co-directed by Kaluuya alongside Kibwe Tavares — will get its world premiere on October 15.

The Kitchen, co-directed by Kibwe Tavares and Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya in their feature debuts and co-written by Kaluuye and Murtagh, will close the festival on October 15.
The Netflix feature, starring Kane Robinson, Jedaiah Bannerman, Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs, Demmy Ladipo, Cristale and BackRoad Gee, is set in a dystopian London, where the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits. All forms of social housing have been eradicated and only The Kitchen, a community that refuses to move out of the place they call home, remains. The story centers on Izi (Robinson), living there by necessity and desperately trying to find a way out, and a 12-year-old Benji (Bannerman), who has lost his mother and is searching for a family, as they struggle to forge a relationship in a system that is stacked against them.
