As we welcome in the New Year, we can reveal our annual (non-exhaustive) list of U.S. and international movies we think could grace the festival circuit in 2024. We’ve stuck to our criteria that the project must already be in production and have not already been announced for a festival. More than 70% of our selections last year went on to debut at a major festival. Those that didn’t were largely delayed by the strike or are still in post-production.

The film stars Saoirse Ronan and follows the stories of a group of Londoners during the events of the British capital bombing in World War II. People with knowledge of the pic have described it as a highly inventive and affecting Dickensian tale. Cast also comprises Elliott Heffernan, Harris Dickinson, Erin Kellyman, Stephen
