Chilean director Pablo Larraín’s English-language debut is a searing and intimate portrait of Jackie Kennedy (Natalie Portman) in the events leading up to and following the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy.

The events covered in the film (the fateful day in Dallas, her return to the White House, arrangements for the funeral) offer a moving tale of a grieving woman, wife, and mother as she struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy and the world of ‘Camelot’ that they created and loved so well.

The 18:00 screening on Mon 23 Jan will include Descriptive Subtitles. This screening will also feature an introduction by filmmaker and actor David Ellington and a post-show discussion with audience members: this will also feature simultaneous BSL (British Sign Language) interpretaion.

From 19:55, please 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 Jackie!
