Mark Gallagher, from Arc Cinema Hucknall, said: “Reece is a Hucknall lad and he asked if we could screen the film, as he wanted to see it at the cinema he used to go to as a youth.

“We were unable to book the film on the day of release, because it was a limited release and also we didn’t have space, but as soon as I was able to book it I called Reece straight away to see if we could build an event around it and get Brooklyn down for a question-and-answer session, as well as any other actors.

"The film will then be introduced and then after the film we’ll have a short Q&A and hopefully hear some fascinating insights into film-making.

“The film is being lauded around the world winning awards and being given five-star reviews everywhere.

“This is a must for local movie fans wanting an insight into the making of Aftersun.

"We’ve also got other actors coming to the event including Kieran Burton, who also stars in the movie as well as in an upcoming ITV drama also starring Vicky McClure."
