Followed by

"ATONEMENT" @ 8.00PM - CERT 15

The film opens in England in 1935, on the hottest day of the year. In the looming shadow of World
War II Briony Tallis and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous Victorian
Gothic mansion. As the family gathers for the weekend the combination of the oppressive heat
and long suppressed emotions coming to the surface create an ominous sense of threat and
danger. Briony, a fledgling writer, is a girl with a vivid imagination. Through a series of
catastrophic misunderstandings, she accuses Robbie Turner, the housekeeper’s son and lover of
her sister Cecilia, of a crime he did not commit. This accusation destroys Robbie and Cecilia’s new
found love and dramatically alters the course of all their lives.
Starring James McAvoy & Keira Knightly

Runtime 130mins

ATONEMENT - Trailer

“The making of Atonement involved the hard work and diligence of thousands of men and
women from across the UK and beyond but it was in the North East of England in Grimsby and
Redcar that the largest effort was concentrated. Without the support and unflagging of
enthusiasm of the people of those towns the film would have been very much diminished. It was
truly moving and humbling to be able to work alongside the hundreds of people who gave their
hearts and souls to the film; an experience none of us will ever forget” - Paul Webster, Producer.

"I do congratulate Saltburn on organising its first film festival. As I know, this is not an easy thing to do, but it's eminently worthwhile. Film is the greatest art form of the last century and a festival like this is the best possible way to bring the community together to appreciate and, most of all, enjoy the wonder and excitement of good movies. I'm sure it will be a great success." BARRY NORMAN
