We're thrilled to invite award-winning Film & TV producer Hilary Bevan Jones to Arts Picturehouse for a Q&A screening of her new feature film Onwards and Sideways. All guests attending this event are welcome to stay for drinks in our bar for a complimentary glass of wine after the screening. An event by the Royal Television Society East.
Tony Evans is deputy headteacher of a primary school. Emma Dretzin is a musician and composer, and a single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other, until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives. On the same morning, these two are simultaneously confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease.
Onwards and Sideways is their story - a friendship which unfolds unexpectedly. A story of humour, courage, music, movement and the transformative power of human connection. Challenging assumptions, the film celebrates the capacity to find joy, freedom and hope, even in life's most difficult moments.
A powerful, life-affirming British drama from Academy Award®-nominated Director John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Onwards and Sideways stars BAFTA Award-winner Rhys Ifans (Inheritance, House of the Dragon), Academy Award®-nominee Laura Linney (Ozark, Love Actually), Monica Dolan (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Sherwood), and Rory Kinnear (The Diplomat, The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power).
