The Russell Hobbs British Film Festival presents a Sparkling Matinee Preview of The Christophers, a sharp and darkly comic new film from acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh, led by Golden Globe winner Ian McKellen and Emmy-winner Michaela Coel.This special advance screening includes a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival!
Julian Skyler (McKellen), a once-celebrated painter, finds his unfinished works at the centre of a covert scheme led by his estranged children. They enlist a skilled restorer, Lori (Coel), to complete the paintings, blurring the line between preservation and imitation. As their dynamic deepens, what begins as forgery evolves into a subtle tension around authorship, authenticity and ownership.
Wry, intimate and layered, The Christophers explores art, legacy and deception through a clever and compelling premise.
