Wasteman – preview screening 18

Thanks to the sponsor of this screening Communities Food and Wellbeing Hub with Leicester Leicestershire & Rutland ICB, Early Bird tickets are £3 - these are now sold out.

Join us from 6.30pm in the Café Bar for a set from DJ Mayowa, complimentary drinks for the early arrivals, and a chance to play board games or just socialise with someone new.

We will also be running a book drive for a local prison, so please bring a book or two, that you’d be happy to donate.

Presented in partnership with We Are Parable as part of the We Are Here project – a nationwide programme to increase access to Black cinema – Cal McMau’s acclaimed feature debut stars David Jonsson (Industry, Alien: Romulus) as Taylor, a parolee whose chances for early release come under threat from his violent new cellmate.

After years in prison, in which time his son has grown up without him, Taylor’s parole is approaching. It’s bad timing, then, that new cellmate Dee ropes Taylor into violent inmate rivalries, endangering his fresh start.

An intense and claustrophobic portrait of a merciless prison eco-system, featuring standout performances from rising British stars David Jonsson and Tom Blyth.

Please note there are no ads or trailers for this screening and it will start promptly at the advertised time.
