This autumn, we invite you to discover these remarkable films in a special screening season inspired by Chris’s choices, celebrating great storytelling and the enduring power of screenwriting on the big, and small, screen.
“To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script and the script” – Alfred Hitchcock
It Was Just An Accident
What begins as a minor accident sets in motion a series of escalating consequences. An unassuming mechanic is reminded of his time in an Iranian prison when he encounters a man he suspects to be his sadistic jailhouse captor. Panicked, he rounds up a few of his fellow ex- prisoners to confirm the man’s identity.
