18:30 Doors Open - 19:00 Film start

Sean McAllister returns to his hometown, Hull, as curator of its’ UK City of Culture opening. Back living with his 90-year-old parents and reflecting on changes to a city hit by cuts in public spending and divided by Brexit, Sean is drawn to the fringes of town where he encounters Steve – a struggling warehouse worker with a dream.

“Class and chance collide in Sean McAllister’s brilliant Sheffield Doc/Fest opening film, as young performers are guided through their home’s transformational year as UK city of culture” [Charlie Phillips, The Guardian]

We are lucky enough to be joined by the director, BAFTA nominated, Sean McAllister and the star of the film, Steve Arnott for a panel led audience Q and A after the film! This event is not to be missed!
