Relaxed Screening

Still from Air

The true tale of a gamble on a rookie basketball player that created an empire. This is the star-drenched Nike Air Jordan origin story from SXSW. 

From award-winning director Ben Affleck, AIR reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division - revolutionizing the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand.

This slick 80s era story follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional duo with everything on the line (played by the iconics Matt Damon and Jason Bateman), the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son’s immense talent (the astounding Viola Davis), and the basketball phenom who would become the greatest of all time. 

In our capitalistic, consumer driven society, this logo is more easily recognisable than the leaves on our trees or the fish still in our rivers. Air shoots its shot at the history of a brand found all around the world.

What is a Relaxed Screening

A relaxed event takes place in an environment that is specially tailored for a neurodiverse audience, as well as those who find a more informal setting beneficial. 

The cinema environment is tailored to the needs of the audience.

For this screening:

- The lights are dimmed, though not off.

- The volume levels a little lower than usual.

- You are free to move around the screen and to enter and exit the cinema at any time, with easy access for any wheelchair users.

- You're free to make noise in these screenings. 

- Staff are trained and ready to assist with any help you or other audience members may need while you're at the cinema at Barbican.
