Steve - Members' Screening

Followed by Q&A with Cillian Murphy, director Tim Mielants (Small Things Like These) and writer Max Porter

Set in the mid-’90s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller Shy. The film follows a pivotal day in the life of head teacher Steve (Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amid a world that has forsaken them. As Steve fights to protect the school’s integrity and prevent its impending closure, he grapples with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve’s struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.

The cast also includes Tracey Ullman (Mrs. America, The Tracey Ullman Show), Simbi Ajikawo (Top Boy) and Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves, Small Things Like These)

Alan Moloney, Cillian Murphy, and Tina Pawlik serve as producers, and Max Porter executive produces. The film features music by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow.
