To celebrate the release of THE IMITATION GAME
in UK cinemas on 14 November, Bletchley Park will
open a major new exhibition, taking visitors behind
the scenes of the highly anticipated movie. The
exhibition will open on Tuesday 4 November with
an exclusive preview screening of the film for a
select audience at Bletchley Park. The same
evening, this vibrant heritage attraction will preview
a major new exhibition all about the making of the
film, in the very room where the bar scenes were
filmed.
Sarah Kay, Bletchley Park’s Digitisation and
Exhibitions Officer, says “THE IMITATION GAME
at Bletchley Park Exhibition is an opportunity to
not only provide our existing audiences the
chance to see some of the film’s set dressing
and some of the fantastic objects and documents
created by the film’s art department. It is also an
opportunity for us to reach new audiences of film
fans who otherwise may not be familiar with the
secret wartime work of Alan Turing and the
thousands of other heroes who undertook arguably
the most important work of the their lives.
“The making of the film will send the history of
Bletchley Park worldwide with such incredibly
impressive and intense performances by some of
Britain's most elite actors. Bletchley Park is incredibly
proud of what the filmmakers and actors were able
to achieve.”
During the filming we spoke to the producer Teddy
Schwarzman & the screenplay writer Graham Moore.
We will bring you the full interview & many more
Exclusives in future episodes of The Bletchley Park
Podcast.
