Sorry to Bother You 15

A fresh, funny and outrageously audacious political comedy starring Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta, Get Out), Tessa Thompson (Dear White People, Creed) and Jordan Peele.
Cassius Green (Stanfield) finds himself on the way to the big-time when he develops a magical ability to drive telemarketing sales by adopting his easy-breezy ‘white voice’. His success grabs the attention of the cocaine-hoovering CEO Steve Lift (Hammer), who draws him into a surreal spiral of no-morals money-making.

This is a vivid and vibrant rollercoaster of a film, boldly satirical and endlessly surprising – strap in for this, you’re in for a wild ride.

We are also screening our very own BFI Film Academy made film titled Watcher ahead of the film. This was made as part of the BFI Film Academy 2021-2022 course at the Showroom Cinema.

This film is screening as part of the BFI Young Programmers Festival. For more information about the rest of the programme please click here. The Young Programmers Festival was planned and put together by 36 talented 16-19 year olds from this year’s BFI Specialist Programming Course, which runs here at Showroom Cinema each year.

Statement from the Young Programmers:

Our film season is based on the theme of identity and self-discovery. Instead of choosing films that force the audience to explore their own identities, we wanted to choose films that force them to question them instead. Our films are set in an everyday world, but the experiences of characters are very far from that that many people will ever experience for themselves.
