We’re really looking forward to our next virtual screening where we’ll be watching the brilliant Spanish film Pain and Glory on Wednesday 21st April!
Pain and Glory tells of a series of re-encounters experienced by Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas), a film director who reflects on the choices he’s made in life as past and present come crashing down around him.
Pain and Glory is a wonderful, intensely personal movie about age, experience, friendship and forgiveness, from the inimitable Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar.
We will be watching in our virtual screening room, where we can view the film and chat online together.
This film is in Spanish with English subtitles.
The screening room must be accessed using a web browser on a laptop or computer (it won’t work on tablets or phones). We recommend watching on a laptop and plugging this into your TV using an HDMI cable.
Tickets are offered on a sliding scale of £2 – £8 per household and you can book yours here.
