All proceeds from the screening will go towards Plan’s urgent efforts to provide shelter, water and emergency supplies to the nine million people caught up in the aftermath of the devastating storm.

A special thank you to Universal Pictures for making this screening possible.

ABOUT TIME (12A)

Director: Richard Curtis. Starring: Bill Nighy, Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams. UK 2013. 123 mins.

Richard Curtis’s (NOTTING HILL) latest film is a sci-fi romcom. Tim (Gleeson) learns from his father (Nighy) that the men of the family can travel through time. When he meets the gorgeous but diffident Mary (McAdams), the two fall in love, but a supernatural glitch means their initial encounter keeps repeating itself and goes no further. Curtis’s ingenious script and a great ensemble cast carry us entertainingly through the conundrums.
