Get Out (15)
Dir. Jordan Peele, US, 2017, 100 mins. Cast. Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Catherine Keener.
Jordan Peele's brilliant horror-satire combined genuine thrills with a no-holds-barred critique of black-white relations with its tale of a young African American man who visits his white girlfriend’s family only to find their superficially warm welcome masks an unthinkably dark secret. Blending race-savvy satire with horror to especially potent effect, this bombshell social critique delivers a breathlessly suspenseful exposé of the horror of covert liberal racism.
Screening as part of The Hidden Figures of Plymouth Film Day
‘Hidden Figures of Plymouth’ is a ground-breaking 2-year project sponsored by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The project's core aims are to share the untold stories of the contributions of People of the Global Majority to the city of Plymouth. The stories of people like Ann Wilkinson (co-founder of the Plymouth Respect Festival in 1998), Jimmy Peters (the first black rugby player to play for England in 1906), and Claude Miller (who in 2004 became the first black Lord Mayor of Plymouth), to name a few.
As well as highlighting the stories of past figures, the project will capture the stories of living figures and engage with younger people from the Global Majority communities to explore their vision for a future, knowing their past.
The project started in February 2023 and is the brainchild of WonderZoo, a Plymouth based arts collective (www.wonderzoo.org).
