Film Night

Friday 27th January

‘CODA‘

Doors open at 7.00pm. Film begins at 7:30.

Our next film screening is of CODA (Children of Deaf Adults). The film won three Oscars in 2022 for Best Film, Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Best Adapted Screen Play.

Gifted with a voice that her parents can’t hear, seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones), is the sole hearing member of a deaf family – a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high school’s choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and finds herself drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.

Unlike our usual film screenings this one doesn’t required the purchase of a ticket, as the license circumstances are different. Instead we would like attendees to consider making a donation, which we will pass on, in full, to an appropriate deaf charity.

Trailer below.

See you there,
