53. A Hard Day’s Night with Samira Ahmed
Join us for a screening of a landmark of modern British cinema, The Beatles 1964 feature film A Hard Day’s Night. Shot in a documentary style, the film captured Britain at a moment of social transformation with a portrayal of celebrity, camaraderie and media frenzy that still resonates today.
The screening will be followed by a post-show talk with writer, broadcaster and Beatles superfan Samira Ahmed, who has written a brand-new BFI Classics guide to the film that was made to capture a pop phenomenon and became an enduring cinematic classic.
Film runtime: 90 mins. Post-show talk + Q&A: 65 mins approx.
This film is rated PG.
