Suitable for even our youngest film buffs! This programme will be repeated later in the day.

BINTI - Frederike Migom, 2019, 90 minutes, Dutch with English subtitles. Recommended Ages: 8+

Twelve-year-old Binti dreams of becoming a famous vlogger like her idol Tatyana. But when the police try to deport her and her dad, they are forced to flee. When Binti meets eco-warrior Elias the two become friends. While Binti helps Elias to vlog about his 'save-the-okapi-club', she hatches the perfect plan: her dad has to marry Elias's mum, so they can stay in Belgium. A warm and vibrant adventure with a hero whose spirit and optimism leaves us filled with hope.

Nine-year-old Shota’s understanding of goodies versus baddies is challenged in the wrestling arena when he discovers his father actually plays a ‘heel’ or villain called Cockroach who everyone loves to hate. Featuring real pro wrestling champion Hiroshi Tanahashi as Shota’s father this heart-warming tale is sure to leave you smiling.
