    BFI London Film Festival announces first ever Premiere outside London with Manchester Special Presentation of Mike Leigh’s PETERLOO Embargo: Thursday 16th August – Wide 10:00am LONDON, Thursday 16th August: The 62nd BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express® is thrilled to announce the UK Premiere of Mike Leigh’s PETERLOO live from HOME in Manchester, followed by a Q&A, simulcast to cinemas around the UK, on Wednesday 17 October. The premiere will be attended by Leigh and members of the cast. On Friday 19th October the film will also screen in London, with a Q+A afterwards with Mike Leigh. Distributed by Entertainment One (eOne), PETERLOO tells the story of the Peterloo massacre, which took place 199 years ago today, on 16 August 1819, and stars Rory Kinnear, Maxine Peake, Neil Bell, Philip Jackson, Vincent Franklin, Karl Johnson and Tim McInnerny. The screening represents the first time the BFI London Film Festival has premiered a film outside of the capital, offering audiences in Manchester and nationwide the opportunity to preview a major release with Manchester’s history at its forefront. Written and directed by Mike Leigh, PETERLOO is an epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where a peaceful pro-democracy rally at St Peter's Field in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. The massacre saw British government forces charge into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand political reform and protest against rising levels of poverty. Many protestors were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking a nationwide outcry but also further government suppression.
