B&B + Director Q&A

Director
Joe Ahearne
Certificate
15
Running Time
83 mins

Gay Londoners Marc (Tom Bateman) and Fred (Sean Teale) are suitably outraged when the Christian owner (Paul McGann) of a remote B&B denies them a room. After successfully suing the bigot and driving him into debt, they decide to return to rub his nose in it by insisting on exercising their hard-won right to sleep together under his roof. But matters take an alarming turn with the unexpected arrival of a mysterious hulking great Russian guest with a potentially sinister motive.

The winner of Best LGBT film 2017 at London Independent Film Festival, this debut theatrical feature by BAFTA-nominated TV director Joe Ahearne (The Replacement, several episodes of Doctor Who) was shot entirely on location in Bristol. And, of course, it stars Bristol’s very own Paul McGann, of Withnail and I fame. It’s already out on DVD, but this is a rare opportunity to catch the film on the big screen. The director will be present for a post-screening Q&A, along with producer Jayne Chard from Hummingbird Films.
