CIFF 2024: 1917 + Q&A
Chiswick in Film Festival returns for it’s third edition, championing the cinematic connections of our West London community.
BAFTA-nominee and dynamic acting talent George MacKay joins Film Club’s Andrea Carnevali on stage for a post-film Q&A.
CIFF celebrates films shot in Chiswick or made by Chiswick residents. Presented in partnership with The Chiswick Calendar, the festival team are Bridget Osborne, Chris Parker, Andrea Carnevali and Rob Sprackling. Chiswick in Film Festival 2024 is kindly sponsored by The London Bath Co. who offer superior service from design to installation. The festival season artwork is designed by Aguado Polo Design.
About the film:
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them
