Join us from 7.00pm on March 12 as we celebrate this terrific and tragic romantic drama from two-time Grammy award-winning director Melina Matsoukas, featuring Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya, with music by RTRFM's Rhian Todhunter, complimentary Siena's pizza, and a West Cape Howe wine or Otherside Brewing Company beer on entry (while stocks last). Supported by Sound Solutions.
From two-time Grammy award-winning director Melina Matsoukas, the visionary filmmaker behind this generation’s most powerful pop-culture experiences, and from trailblazing, Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s Master of None), comes the unflinching new drama, QUEEN & SLIM.
While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man (Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defence. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of rebellion in the United States. Following in the footsteps of Bonnie & Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Melina Matsoukas' Queen & Slim is a powerful love story that confronts the toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.
