“[The cast] are near perfect [...] It’s as raw a slice of escapism as you could wish for”
DOORS: 15:00 | FILM STARTS 15:45
Join us this March at a very exciting new location - Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. It’s a rare opportunity to visit the School; walk in the footsteps of film and theatre legends, and enjoy a trio of drama-school related screenings in the beautiful dance studio.
First up is a 25th anniversary screening of the coming-of-age comedy-drama Billy Elliot. Jamie Bell’s stunning, award-winning debut performance as the eponymous boy who wants to learn how to ballet dance is still a tour de force, and a highlight of 21st Century British cinema.
