Humanity has been all but destroyed by a fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating ‘hungries’. Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects. At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell (Glenn Close). One little girl named Melanie (Sennia Nanua) stands out from the rest. Melanie excels in the classroom and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau (Gemma Arterton). When the base falls, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide her future and that of the human race.
The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with the film’s producer Angus Lamont, who’ll be discussing the challenges of filming The Girl With All The Gifts in Birmingham city centre as well as his BAFTA nominated work on the recent refugee drama Limbo.
