High rise 20poster 1

Ventnor International Festival and The Travelling Film Show present a special outdoor screening of 'High-Rise' in Ventnor Park.

High-Rise stars Tom Hiddleston as Dr Robert Laing, the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscrapper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and meets the building's eccentric tenants: Charlotte (Sienna Miller), his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother, Wilder (Luke Evans), a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife Helen (Elizabeth Moss); and Mr. Royal (Jeremy Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building.

Life seems like a paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing, But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war.
