Russell Hobbs British Film Festival Special Presentation: Ink

Hot off the press and into the 2026 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival for its Australian Premiere! Join us for a Special Presentation screening of Ink on Saturday, 7 November. Settle in with complimentary red and white wine, soft-drinks, popcorn, and a Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream stick upon arrival. In this explosive drama, Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) strikingly adapts playwright James Graham’s tumultuous account of the meteoric rise of The Sun newspaper and how Rupert Murdoch (Guy Pearce, The Brutalist) and Larry Lamb (Jack O’Connell) moulded it to become Britain’s most influential tabloid. In 1969, rising media tycoon Rupert Murdoch persuades newspaper editor Larry Lamb to oversee his newly acquired but failing newspaper. Eager to gain traction in the highly competitive media market, they decide to publish the extreme, printing any story that would divide opinion. When Joyce Hopkirk (Claire Foy, The Crown) is brought in to widen the newspaper's appeal, she begins to contest the limits of the prevailing boys’ club culture within the industry. But as readership numbers rise, so too do the paper’s disparagers. Screening at Astor (1:45pm arrivals, 2:00pm film), Pentridge (6:15pm arrivals, 6:30pm film), Balwyn (6:30pm arrivals, 6:45pm film) and The Kino (6:45pm arrivals, 7:00pm film). Tickets: Palace Movie Club $45.00, General Admission $50.00.
