British South Asian drama “A Teacher’s Gift” has landed U.K. theatrical distribution through Peccadillo Pictures, the independent distributor known for its LGBTQ+ and world cinema output.

The deal confirms the film’s BIFA-qualifying status and puts it in contention for the British Independent Film Awards.

Eric Ollerenshaw produces the film, which was shot in the Midlands with Wolverhampton company New Lion Films co-producing, giving the project a regional footprint outside London. Artur Ribeiro (“Terra Nova”) directs from a script he co-wrote with Rajdeep Choudhury and Will D. Parry.
