A Story of Children and Film

Saturday, March 1 / 9 pm
Wednesday & Thursday, March 5 & 6 / 7 pm
Friday & Saturday, March 7 & 8 / 9 pm
Directed by Mark Cousins
2013, UK, 106 min

The world’s first movie about kids in global cinema is a passionate, poetic portrait of
the adventures of childhood—its surrealism, loneliness, fun, destructiveness and
stroppiness—as seen through 53 great films from 25 countries. You will be hooked after just ten minutes as Cousins uncovers a treasure chest of stunning imagery from
classic movies like E.T., Night of the Hunter and The Red Balloon, as well as dozens of masterpieces that are almost unknown. It combines the child’s eye view of Mark
Cousins’ acclaimed film The First Movie, with the revelations and bold movie history of his 15 hour documentary The Story of Film: An Odyssey. Not to be missed.

Reviews

“Moving, funny and thoroughly entertaining, it will leave you hungry to seek out all the films contained within. Transcendent and essential… An outstanding journey of storytelling.” —EMMA THROWER, film journalist
