AN acclaimed film about the founding of Facebook will be screened at the Centenary Centre in Peel next week.
The Social Network (cert 12A) will be shown on Wednesday, April 27 at 7.45pm as part of the Films in Peel initiative.
Directed by BAFTA winner David Fincher the film tells the story of Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg who is played by Jesse Eisenberg.
In 2003 Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University, started to develop the idea of a social network for students.
Six years and 500 million friends later he became the youngest billionaire in history.
However, his success did not come without a price and this film tells the story of the legal and personal complications he has had to deal with.
It is a film that has the universal themes of friendship, ambition and betrayal.
Not without controversy, the release of this Oscar winning film attracted both praise and criticism.
Doors open at 7.15pm and tickets are £4 (£3 concessions) and are available from Celtic Gold or on the door.
Special blue tickets which guarantee a seat but still require payment on the door are available from Mostly Manx in Douglas, Shakti Man in Ramsey and Thompson Travel in Port Erin.
The remaining films this season are Made in Dagenham (cert 15) on May 11 and The King's Speech (cert 12A) on May 25.
