About this Event
The Garden Cinema is back this Summer!!!!
Our movie tonight is "The Official Story", a 1985 Argentine historical drama film directed by Luis Puenzo and written by Puenzo and Aida Bortnik.
The film deals with the story of an upper middle class couple who lives in Buenos Aires with an illegally adopted child. The mother comes to realise that her daughter may be the child of a desaparecida, a victim of the forced disappearances that occurred during Argentina's last military dictatorship (1976–1983), which saw widespread human rights violations, including many thousands of murders.
Among several other international awards, it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the 58th Academy Awards, a first for a Latin American film.
The screening is for a small group in an open, air space with roof protection.
We will be raising funds for Tomasote de Guayana, an agrarian collective in Venezuela and an autistic school outside UK.
The film will have English Subtitles. There will be drinks and snacks for sale on the night.
