More information about Hull Independent Cinema: BLUE JEAN tickets
Hull Independent Cinema presents.. BLUE JEAN In 1988, Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government is about to pass the notorious Section 28, outlawing the “promotion of homosexuality” in schools. The atmosphere of oppression forces Jean, a PE teacher, to live a double life, struggling to reconcile her relationship and friendships in the gay community with the prejudice and ignorance of her family and colleagues. As pressure mounts from all sides, the arrival of a new girl at school catalyses a crisis that will challenge Jean to her core. Starring Rosy McEwen, Kerrie Hayes, Lucy Halliday AWARDS & FESTIVAL British Independent Film Awards: Winner, Best Lead Performance, Best Supporting Performance, Best Debut Screenwriter; Nominee, Best British Independent Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Breakthrough Performance REVIEWS "Considering the stranglehold transphobia has on British culture currently, BLUE JEAN feels all the more impactful as a cautionary tale of how this intolerance only breeds hatred and hurt." Hannah Strong, Little White Lies PLEASE NOTE: A trailer before this feature contains a sequence of flashing lights that might affect customers susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
