NEW EVENT: The Incredibles with TEDxBRISTOL

Our Autumn 2024 season begins with our second screening in partnership with TEDxBRISTOL, as part of a special collaborative series combining great films with insightful talks from experts. Alongside a 20th anniversary screening of the beloved family superhero caper The Incredibles, 2023 TEDxBRISTOL speaker Suzan Issa will host a fascinating introductory talk.

Have you ever felt pressured to act differently or mask who you really are, just to fit in? For many of us it means that we hide the things that make us shine; for people who are neurodistinct, it can be a truly lonely and isolating experience. Suzan Issa explores the hidden cost of conformity and challenges us all to embrace our authentic selves.

Suzan’s talk will be a brilliant introduction to the Oscar-winning film, which sees Mr Incredible struggling to adapt to his civilian identity years after he was forced to hang up his costume (no capes, darling!). It’s a hilarious and heartwarming misadventure that’s perfect for the whole family.
