Stay tuned for more details of our annual shorts programme to celebrate International Women’s Day!
For International Women’s Day this coming week, we’ve put together a fantastic line up of short films all directed by female filmmakers from around the world. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce your young ones to international cinema in bite-sized chunks.
Running time approx. 60mins
Age recommendations 5+
Captioned Screening: Please note, this screening is HOH Captioned.
Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count.
