We’re delighted to welcome EMPIRE OF LIGHT producer Pippa Harris for a live Q&A following this screening.
From Academy Award®-winning director and writer Sam Mendes, EMPIRE OF LIGHT is an intimate and moving story about love, friendship, and connection, set in a coastal town in Southern England against the social turmoil of the early 1980s. Hilary (Olivia Colman), a woman with a difficult past and an uneasy present, is part of a makeshift family at the old Empire Cinema on the seafront.
When Stephen (Micheal Ward) is hired to work in the cinema, the two find an unlikely attraction and discover the healing power of movies, music and community.
Pippa Harris is an Oscar-nominated, BAFTA award-winning, film and television producer. Harris has produced Starter for Ten and Stuart A Life Backwards, co-produced Jarhead, and executive produced Things We Lost in the Fire, Away We Go, and the Oscar-nominated Revolutionary Road. Harris notably produced the First World War epic 1917 which has won over 100 awards, including the Producers Guild Award for Best Picture, two Golden Globes, three Academy Awards, and seven BAFTAs including Best Film, Best British Film, and Best Director.
