Akenfield
More Information
In partnership with the Bury St Edmunds Literature Festival, we are delighted to present a special screening of the Suffolk classic, Akenfield. This evocative film offers a powerful glimpse into rural life and heritage. The screening is open to all – join us in celebrating a local masterpiece.
Tom (Garrow Shand) is a young farmer who lives in Akenfield, a small village in England. In 1974, Tom attends his grandfather’s funeral and finds himself questioning his oppressive family history and his role within it. Will he, like his grandfather and father before him, never escape the secure but dreary existence that farming life in Akenfield holds in store for him? Or will he take a chance and venture out into the world beyond and possibly suffer as a consequence?
