In Trumbo Bryan Cranston gives an Oscar®-nominated performance as Dalton Trumbo, the Hollywood screenwriter who was blacklisted after refusing to testify in the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1947, in this entertaining Hollywood biopic. In 1947, Trumbo was Hollywood’s top screenwriter, until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their communist-leaning beliefs. The film recounts how Trumbo used words and wit to expose its absurdity and injustice and how it entangled everyone from John Wayne to Kirk Douglas.

The Mon 15 Feb 17:50 screening 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 Brian Neve (author of Film and Politics in America and joint editor of "Un-American” Hollywood: Politics and Film in the Blacklist Era) who will also lead post-show discussion with audience members. This will also feature simultaneous BSL (British Sign Language) interpretation.

After the film, from 20:20, join us for Deaf Conversations About Cinema, an informal discussion about the themes of the film in the Café/Bar (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 this fascinating film.
