where are all my peoples who would rather be watching this over Interstellar at? CITIZENFOUR is a real life thriller, unfolding by the minute, giving audiences unprecedented access to filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald’s encounters with Edward Snowden in Hong Kong, as he hands over classified documents providing evidence of mass indiscriminate and illegal invasions of privacy by the National Security Agency (NSA). Poitras had already been working on a film about surveillance for two years when Snowden contacted her, using the name “CITIZENFOUR,” in January 2013. He reached out to her because he knew she had long been a target of government surveillance, stopped at airports numerous times, and had refused to be intimidated. When Snowden revealed he was a high-level analyst driven to expose the massive surveillance of Americans by the NSA, Poitras persuaded him to let her film. CITIZENFOUR places you in the room with Poitras, Greenwald, and Snowden as they attempt to manage the media storm raging outside, forced to make quick decisions that will impact their lives and all of those around them. CITIZENFOUR not only shows you the dangers of governmental surveillance—it makes you feel them. After seeing the film, you will never think the same way about your phone, email, credit card, web browser, or profile, ever again. https://citizenfourfilm/screenings-all Opening Nov 22 Oxford The Ultimate Picture Palace Nov 22 Birmingham The Electric Cinema Nov 22 London Hackney Picturehouse Nov 24 Bristol The Cube Microplex Cinema Dec 5 London JW3 Dec 6 Edinburgh Filmhouse Dec 7 Cork City Triskel Arts Cork Dec 10 Aberdeen Belmont Filmhouseils Dec 10 Shetland Mareel Dec 13 Belfast Queens Film Theatre Dec 14 Shetland Mareel Dec 15 Torrington The Plough Arts Centre Dec 16 Cardiff Chapter
