What's on during Hitchcock Week?
Wait for Me - plus Q&A with the director and John Knowles

Although not a Hitchcock film, Wait for Me is nestled into our Hitchcock weekender, as a modern take on the crime thriller.
We're delighted that this screening will include an introduction and Q&A with Director Keith Farrell and local thespian and playwright John Knowles, discussing the importance of working class stories in films today, and ways that working class directors can source funding to get their films made.
