Hull Independent Cinema: SING SING

Hull Independent Cinema presents...



SING SING
Dir Greg Kwedar | USA | 2023 | 106 mins | Rated 15 | English

John, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by founding the Rehabilitation Through Arts theatre group. Against his better judgement, he takes drug dealer Clarence under his wing, only to find the spiky newcomer poses a challenge to his leadership and the group’s equilibrium, fragile enough in the face of the indignity of prison. With many real-life RTA members playing themselves, this is a stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art.

Starring Colman Domingo, Paul Raci, Clarence Maclin

AWARDS AND REVIEWS
Seattle International Film Festival: Winner, Best Film & Best Ensemble
SXSW Film Festival: Winner, Audience Award
Deauville Film Festival: Nominee, Grand Special Prize

REVIEWS
"[Domingo and Raci's] interplay flows naturally, but is underpinned by a robust, punchy wit – imagine The Shawshank Redemption directed by Mike Leigh." ★★★★★ Robbie Collin, The Daily Telegraph

"Colman Domingo shines in this love letter to uncaged male vulnerability." ★★★★ Whelan Barzey, Time Out

"It is a small movie with steep odds against it, but it is also extraordinarily accomplished." ★★★★ Caryn James, BBC

"Sing Sing is a revelation." Fletcher Peters, The Daily Beast

ACCESSIBILITY

Subtitles
This film will be presented with Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH). In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. "(sighs)" or "(door creaks)" and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.

Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with SDH where available.

Age Rating
SING SING is rated 15. Under 15s will not be admitted. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website.

Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.

Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
