THREADS – plus intro from Dave Valentine
One of the most terrifying films of all time? An ’80s BBC Archive that’s fixed firmly in the memories of those who saw it.
Director: MICK JACKSON
112 MINS / 1984 / UK
As part of our mini-Nuclear Season this Autumn, curated by local DJ and film fanatic, Dave Valentine, we present a rare chance to see this nuclear disaster film on the big screen for maximum impact. Described as one of the “most terrifying films of all time” (VultureHound) and most definitely one of the most traumatising holocaust films to mark the memories of anyone who saw it on BBC in the 1980s.
Threads is a reconstruction set in Sheffield, where ordinary people from the working class live their lives while the television news reports the escalation of the tension between United States of America and Soviet Union after the invasion of Iran by the Soviets. People in general do not pay much attention until the day they realise that a nuclear attack may happen and affect mankind.
Includes introduction and Q&A with the Nuclear Season’s curator, Dave Valentine, VHS film fanatic and DJ.
With thanks to the BFI National TV Archive.
