Step into the world of Hull Truck Theatre’s Young Creators, a fun and thought provoking piece of sketch-theatre that answers life’s most important question; what not to do.

“It’s going to blow your mind. You may want to sit down… or stand up. Whichever you’re not currently doing.”

Nicolas Cage stars as a fictionalised Nicolas Cage in this disorientingly self-referential black action-comedy. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalised version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan, a billionaire drugs kingpin. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative and forced to live up to his own legend, channelling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career destined for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.

Starring
Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris

Hull Independent Cinema present: Hive

HIVE is a searing drama based on the true story of Fahrije, who, like many of the other women in her patriarchal village, has lived with fading hope and burgeoning grief since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. In order to provide for her struggling family, she pulls together the other widows in her community to launch a business selling a local food product. Finding healing and solace in considering a future without their husbands–but their will to begin living independently is met with hostility. The men in the village condemn Fahrije’s efforts to empower herself and the women around her, starting a feud that threatens their newfound sovereignty–and the financial future of Fahrije’s family. Against the backdrop of Eastern Europe’s civil unrest and lingering misogyny, Fahrije and the women of her village join in a struggle to find hope in the face of an uncertain future. HIVE is a pithy, devastating portrait of loss and our uphill journeys to freedom.

Starring Yllka Gashi, Çun Lajçi, Aurita Agushi

In Germany after WWII, liberation did not always mean freedom. Under the German penal code known as Paragraph 175, homosexuality is illegal. Over several decades Hans is spied on and jailed solely for his sexuality. Jailed repeatedly, Hans develops an ever-closer relationship with Viktor, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence. Their charged rapport blossoms into something more tender, in a film that explores love, lost time, and the tenacity of the human spirit.

Franz Rogowski, Georg Friedrich, Anton von Lucke
