BILLY ELLIOT (15) 1h 50m *25th ANNIVERSARY*

Dir: Stephen Daldry

Cast: Jamie Bell, Julie Walters, Jean Heywood

Genre: Drama

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of this liberating North East set coming-of-age classic, as 11-year-old County Durham lad Billy (Jamie Bell) sets his sights on becoming a professional ballet dancer with the help of his nurturing teacher Sandra (Julie Walters), against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1984 miners' strike. A life-affirming story of self-actualisation, as well as an unflinching portrait of North East life in Thatcher’s England, this marvel of British cinema from director Stephen Daldry (The Hours) and screenwriter Lee Hall (Rocketman) – developed from his Live Theatre play Dancer – is an affectingly authentic underdog story and a vital reflection on the history of the region.
