Nationwide Screenings
Screening information and links will be here as the listings go live at theatres, or when they are available to book. It will be updated regularly as we roll out 1978 across the country, so keep checking back for your area! Every screening supports a local charity, so these take a bit longer to sort, but we think it's worth it!
