Trainspotting - 30th Anniversary (18)

A misfit group of friends – heroin addicts, violent criminals, and upstanding members of society – lead chaotic, hedonistic lives in Leith, fuelled by drugs, alcohol and the pursuit of a good time.

When Mark Renton decides that he’s had enough of the old crowd, he moves to London in an attempt to reinvent himself. But it’s not long until compulsive womaniser Sick Boy, hapless Spud and dangerous Begbie turn up with a plan for a drug deal that could make them all rich... 

Frenetic, fun and unapologetically full-on, Trainspotting is a true 90s classic – a film that launched the careers of its cast and crew, and which ushered in a new era of British cinema. 

This screening is part of Rip It Up – a nationwide season celebrating the changing face of youth rebellion, culture and expression on screen in the UK. Supported by Film Hub North as part of the BFI Film Audience Network, made possible by the National Lottery.
