Element Pictures Distribution are delighted to announce the release of the Multi award winning feature His & Hers on June 18th 2010.

His & Hers is a cinematic mosaic that tells a 90-year-old love story through the collective voice of 70 ladies
at different stages in their lives.

The hallways, living rooms, and kitchens of the Irish midlands become the canvas for the film's rich tapestry of female characters. The story unfolds sequentially from young to old, and the characters are charmingly unabashed; while the younger contributors are animated in discussing their relationships with their other halves, the older
women describe their love, and often their bereft love, with grace and candor.

His & Hers celebrates the ordinary moments that add up to the extraordinary. Individually each piece works on its own, but together they create an emotional portrait that explores the way we share life's journey with others.

"The making of this film has been an incredible journey for all involved. It's fitting that the next leg of this journey will be an Irish release. It's very exciting to finally see it on the big screen where we believe the film belongs and will be most appreciated."

Ken Wardrop (Director)

"Following it's recent festival run and awards, we're proud to have the opportunity to introduce His & Hers to Irish audiences this summer. We're confident cinema goers will be charmed and captivated by the Irish women and their universal story at the heart of this film."
Andrew Freedman (Producer Venom Film)

"This beautiful love story about the women of Ireland and the love of the men in their lives, be that fathers, boyfriends, husbands or son's deserves to be seen by the communities of Ireland and we are delighted to be given the opportunity to make this happen"
Audrey Sheils, Head of Distribution of Element Pictures Distribution.
