A screening of Brassed Off will be one of the highlights of Hull’s UNTHINKABLE film festival. The film stars Ewan McGregor, Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald and Hull’s own Peter Martin, and there will be a Q&A with Bridlington-born director Mark Herman, also known for box office hits such as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Little Voice. This uplifting film tells the story of the fictional Grimley Colliery band, based on the real Grimethorpe Colliery Band, as they face the closure of their mine and fight for survival. The film explores themes of class solidarity, economic hardship, and the resilience of community.
