The List has teamed up with Cameo Cinema to offer you the chance to see the brilliant Sweet Sixteen (18). We have 100 tickets to give away to an exclusive preview on the 2 Oct that will be attended by the cast & film
makers who will also hold a Q&A session afterwards.
ICKETS
The first 50 people who present their copy of The List at the Cameo's box office from 23 Sep will receive two tickets... but remember it's first come,
Sweet Sixteen is the tale of Liam (Martin Compston) and his mother who is about to be released from prison. Liam, is approaching his 16th birthday and is determined that things will be different once his mother is released from jail. For the better life he wants for his family he needs to raise the cash-no mean feat for a skint teenager. It's not long before Liam and his pals' crazy schemes lead them into all sorts of trouble. Finding himself dangerously out of his depth, Liam knows he should walk away. Only this
Also see the next issue of The List for our Autumn Film preview that will feature an interview with Ken Loach and Martin Compston.
