Local interest alert!

Partly shot in Deal (see below), this is the extraordinary true story of eccentric English artist Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), famed for his playful, sometimes psychedelic pictures of cats. Moving from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, we follow the progression of Wain’s unique vision and his profound love for his equally unusual wife, Emily (Claire Foy).

We are delighted that Jo and Bernie Thomson are introducing tonight’s screening. Their beautiful seafront house was a key location in the film and they will recount what it was like to have a movie crew descend on them!

Doors 7.30pm - Intro 7.45pm, film 8pm
