Unicorn Nights presents : The 20th anniversary gala screening of Beautiful Thing ! Screened from 35mm | Featuring cast and creatives in attendance with a post screening Q&A
A Pride In London FESTIVAL EVENT
NOW SOLD OUT!!!
Described as 'An urban fairytale' Beautiful Thing is a tender love story set during a hot summer on a South-East London housing estate. Jamie, a relatively unpopular lad who bunks off school to avoid football, lives next door to Ste, a more popular athletic lad but who is frequently beaten up by his father and older brother. Such an episode of violence brings Jamie and Ste together: Sandra (Jamie's mum) offers refugee to Ste. When feelings between the two start to develop, the story tells of their growing attraction for one another, from initial lingering glances to their irrefutable love. Dealing with the tribulations of coming to terms with their sexuality and of others finding out. The plot is set against sub-texts of Sandra's desire to manage her own pub, and thus escape life in the estate, and of her new relationship with her hippy boyfriend Tony; and of Leah, the brilliantly brassy girl next door who has been expelled from school and spends her time listening to Mama Cass records and tripping on a variety of drugs. The film explores everyone's reactions to the boys coming out and how even in the toughest of circumstances, something magical can grow.
Beautiful Thing won awards all over the world and garnered critical and social acclaim for dealing with the issue of coming out and first love. Introducing the world to the talents of the cast and creatives who's work is still loved to this day. Unicorn nights is proud to welcome to the Prince Charles Cinema some of the cast and creative team behind the film during the Pride in London festival as part of Pride 2016 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
A percentage of the profits from this screening will be donated to the pride foundation.
