Deaf Conversations about Cinema: Hot Milk

Join us at the 18:00 screening of Hot Milk on Mon 14 July which will feature Descriptive Subtitles and an introduction from a guest speaker.This will be followed at 16:50 by a post screening discussion in the Café & Bar with audience members and our guest speaker. The evening will be hosted by Deaf artist, performer and filmmaker David Ellington and will feature BSL interpretation throughout.

Set in the scorching heat of a Spanish summer, Hot Milk follows Rose (Fiona Shaw) and her daughter Sofia (Emma Mackey) as they travel to the seaside town of Almería to consult Gómez(Vincent Perez), an enigmatic healer who may hold the key to Rose’s mysterious illness.In the sun-drenched town, Sofia, trapped till now by obligation to her mother’s condition, begins to shed her inhibitions as she is drawn to the magnetic charms of Ingrid, a free spirited traveler, (Vicky Krieps).

Sofia’s increased freedom becomes too much for her controlling mother, and as the hot sun beats down, their relationship simmers with pent-up resentments and bitterness, threatening to tear the fragile threads that hold them together.

Please join us after the screening in the Café & Bar for an informal discussion, which will include BSL interpretation.
