CIFF: The Servant + Q&A
Torin Douglas chairs a Q&A with Harold Pinter’s biographer Michael Billington.
Written by Harold Pinter, the film sees the aristocratic Tony move to London and hire the servant Hugo Barrett for all services at home. Barrett seems to be a loyal and competent employee, but Tony’s girlfriend Susan does not like him and asks Tony to send him away.
CIFF (Chiswick in Film Festival) celebrates the remarkable screen heritage of the West London community, with screenings of films made by locals or made locally. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A. Presented in partnership with The Chiswick Calendar.
Each film of the festival will have its own live intro, so we wanted you to know that we’ll be skipping the usual pre-film adverts and trailers in all CIFF screenings; please be sure to be in your seat for the advertised start time so you don’t miss out!
