LAST CHANCE TO BOOK! This Saturday we are returning to the David Lean Cinema in Croydon to celebrate Croydon Harvest with lots of films and creative fun like this special screening of the hilariously funny film 'Oink' (local cert PG, we suggest 6+)

Sat 3 Oct (David Lean Cinema & Clocktower Atrium)
12pm -13:30 (film) & 1.30pm - 2.30pm (workshop)

Workshop included in cinema ticket which can be booked here: https://www.culturecroydon.com/event/croydon-harvest-small-world-cinema/

Nine-year-old Babs has always wanted a pet, so she’s thrilled when her grandfather gives her a tiny piglet for her ninth birthday. She names him Oink and soon the little pig wins over the whole family. But Grandpa is hiding a secret… and it involves sausages! Trailer: https://youtu.be/_FxZKLgxzWg?si=Ra1y8hV1_7310UF_

Please note: the film is in Dutch with English subtitles. It’s not difficult to follow, even if you miss a word here and there.

After the film, join us for a relaxed Eco-Crafternoon celebrating the Harvest Festival. Using recycled materials, children can create real or imagined farmyard animals. Each creation will be filmed in time-lapse as it joins a growing imaginary farmyard.

This Saturday at our Family Film Festival, discover 'Hola Frida!' a colourful animation that takes us into the childhood of Frida Kahlo as she grows up in Coyoacán, Mexico.

Before the famous paintings, there was a little girl with a huge imagination, a love of nature and a very different way of seeing the world.

Watch the film and afterwards make your own Frida-inspired self portrait with embroidery, collage and colour.

Suitable for ages 5+
English spoken
