THE ACTING CLASS WITH EXCLUSIVE INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTORS

Post by filmfest »

Here's an opportunity to view for free this brilliant film - on how working class actors are finding it increasingly harder to break into the profession - with Christopher Ecclestone, Maxine Peake, Sam West and Julie Hesmondhalgh. It won the full length domestic category at the LFF 2017 Festival, where my film Black Snow was a finalist in the short category.

It's a great film and an important message.

Award winning National Feature Documentary, featuring Maxine Peake, Christopher Ecclestone, Samuel West, and Julie Hesmondhalgh. ‘The Acting Class’ provides groundbreaking revelations surrounding the barriers of entry in the acting world. With nearly 7 out of 10 British Oscar Winners being privately educated. This documentary highlights the importance of a more diverse Britain being put on-screen, and the consequences of cuts to school curriculums.

Also being screened is a 20-minute film from Unite the Union which explore the union response to the pandemic. There are stories from the frontline which include bereaved families, bus drivers, paramedics, aviation and hospitality workers. This documentary is an ode to Unite reps and members who went above and beyond including providing PPE to frontline workers and holding governments and companies to account
