CloseThere will be a Q&A with director Nick Whitfield following the screening on Wed 18 Aug.
In this surreal comedy, Davis and Bennett are a mismatched pair of travelling salesman operatives, in the business of cleaning skeletons from closets. Together they travel across Britain, wandering in and out of other people’s lives, performing the ‘Procedure’ whereby hidden secrets and lives are exposed. They literally bring the skeletons out of the closet.
Assigned to a job by their boss, The Colonel, the pair find themselves up against their biggest challenge to date. Success will mean a fast track to promotion, failure is not an option. But when they arrive at a remote family home and can’t seem to get the job done, they discover you can’t always get away from your own skeletons, and you can’t always leave and never come back.
Winner of best new British feature film at this year’s Edinburgh International Festival.

Why are the only showings at 6:30pm? This is too early for many people, surely one night at 6:30 and one at 8:30 would be more sensible.

Id like to second Nicks comment. I dont finish work until 7pm. Its great your showing the film but why then deny many people the chance of actually getting to see it?

I can't wait to see this film. I think the reason for the early start is due to Nick the director is giving a Q & A. Even better.

Saw the film tonight and it is truly great. Combines dark humour with fantasy and tragedy. Oh and some real belly laughs! Recommended highly!

Funny how we see the same things so differently. There was some nice and inspired acting but other than that it was a bit of a pseuds delight. Think of what you can that may be bizarre put it in the film and then justify it. All odd and quite tedious. However, the ice cream was great!!
