Horace Ové’s ‘Pressure’ Film Screening + Q&A

Join us at Everyman to celebrate a cinematic milestone. The first Black British feature film, beautifully restored by the BFI National Archive and The Film Foundation in 4k.

A groundbreaking and authentic exploration of the anxieties of an emerging second-generation of West Indians in Britain, Pressure (1975) is a significant title in the history of British Cinema, and remains as relevant now, almost 50 years on, as it ever was — with its themes of police corruption, discrimination and employment on an individual and institutional level.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A reflecting on its legacy and relevance today. Charmaine Simpson (CEO of Black History Studies) chairs a discussion with:

• Indra Ové, daughter of director Horace Ové and actress
• Rob Buckler, producer of Pressure
• Burt Caesar, acclaimed actor, director, and broadcaster

Don’t miss your chance to see Pressure on the big screen - a one-off event in the beautiful surrounds of Everyman King's Cross.
