Hi there folks, our next showing is ‘The Dig’. Based on one of the most spectacular and important discoveries in British Archaeology. In 1939, Suffolk landowner Edith Pretty hires local self-taught archaeologist-excavator Basil Brown to tackle the large burial mounds at her rural estate in Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge.

This British drama, directed by Simon Stone, reimagines the events and is based on the novel of the same name by John Preston. It stars Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes, Lily James, Johnny Flynn, Ben Chaplin, Ken Scott, Archie Barney and Monica Dolan. The film received five nominations for the British Academy Film Awards, including one for Outstanding British Film.
