Deaf Conversations About Cinema: I, Daniel Blake
Please note: This event took place in Oct 2016
I, Daniel Blake is Ken Loach's Palme d'Or-winning film about the friendship between an out-of-work carpenter and a young single mother forced to navigate the vagaries of the British welfare system. The film is a protest cry for common humanity in the face of the welfare web and is sure to leave everyone moved.
The Mon 24 Oct 18:00 screening of the film will include Descriptive Subtitles (a service for our Deaf and hard of hearing customers that displays additional auditory information on the screen). This screening will also feature an introduction by David Taylor-Matthews, MA Curation student at the University of the West of England. After the screening you can join us for a post-show discussion with audience members: this will also feature simultaneous BSL (British Sign Language) interpretation.
From 19:50, please join us for Deaf Conversations About Cinema, an informal discussion about the themes of the film in Waterside 2 (Deaf and hearing audience members are both most welcome). You’ll receive 10% off drinks with your cinema ticket – so grab a glass and let us know your thoughts about I, Daniel Blake.
If you can't make it to the screening don't worry, you're more than welcome to join us for the discussion!
