This special one-off Green Screen event will be followed by a panel with directors Neil Boyle & Kirk Hendry, Ben Callison from The Borneo Orangutan Survival UK, and representatives from the Into Film Youth Advisory Council.
This screening is open and accessible to all, with both SDH (subtitles for Deaf & Hard of Hearing) & AD (Audio Description).
Based on the much-loved, best-selling children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo and adapted for screen by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Kensuke's Kingdom has an international voice cast including Cillian Murphy, Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe and, tells of the epic adventure of Michael, a young boy, shipwrecked on a remote island, who must adapt to life alone.
Over time, he feels another presence, learning that this world is home to both unimaginable danger and beauty, in this gripping animated adaptation of a beloved novel.
Green Screen is a Picturehouse initiative showing environmental-themed films followed by a panel discussion, where possible, made up of locally relevant experts and the filmmakers. Site permitting, all are invited to stay after the screening to continue the conversation in the bar / cafe and if you have brought your keep cup you get a free tea or filter coffee.
