THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED
Join us for this watch-along screening of Sleepless in Seattle, Nora Ephron’s homage to An Affair to Remember starring Tom Hanks as recently widowed Sam Baldwin, whose son Jonah calls a radio talk-show in an attempt to find his father a new wife, with Meg Ryan as Annie Reed who falls for them both. The film both references the Cary Grant version directly with characters watching the movie within the movie, but also in terms of the plot, with Jonah suggesting meeting Annie on top of the Empire State Building.
Drink: Tiramisu Martini Cocktail or hot choccie
Dress code: Pyjamas
Part of the Love Affairs to Remember Marathon.
What is a “watch-along screening”?
Sadly we can’t actually stream films due to distribution rights, but we aim to create a sense of togetherness in isolation through sharing our love of Cary Grant. Before the start of the screening you need to source your own copy of the film and cue it up ready to play. After a brief 5-10 minute introduction on CrowdCast we will count down and all press play at the same time. The CrowdCast will end and we’ll watch-along together using the #CaryStaysHome hashtag on Twitter and Instagram @carycomeshome.

Amazon Prime UK £6.99 to buy

What is “Pay what you feel”?
We want to make our events accessible whatever your budget, but for those that can afford it, we’d really appreciate it if you can give generously to keep the festival afloat in these difficult times.
We rely on ticket sales as our main source of income, but Covid-19 has made this impossible this year, creating a huge shortfall in our finances. We’re a biennial festival so we’re hoping by 2022 we’ll be able to return to live events, but in the meantime we’re determined to celebrate Cary Grant as best we can virtually. If you’ve enjoyed watching this event, please consider donating.
