WHEN THE WIND BLOWS (1986) Anniversary Screening
Perhaps more pertinent now than ever, this hand-drawn animated tale, based on Raymond Briggs' graphic novel, is one of the most powerful depictions of nuclear Armageddon ever made.
Elderly couple Hilda and Jim Bloggs have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack, and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.
Followed by THE WIND AND THE BOMB – a 25 minute behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the film
Tickets £8-£10 80 Minutes
