After animating his acclaimed debut feature Away entirely by himself, Latvian filmmaker and animator Gints Zilbalodis assembled a team for his follow-up Flow and created a magical, thrilling, wordless animated adventure that received a rapturous reception at Cannes. Inspired by his experience of working alone on Away, Flow is all about teamwork. The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, its home is devastated by a great flood and refuge is found on a boat populated by various species – including a capybara – who will all have to work together despite their differences. Tickets for our Toddler Screenings on Friday are required for all adults and children, and adults can only attend if accompanying a child. Join us before the film on Saturday from 10:30am, for a drop-in, self-led activity to create your own origami cat! Our Sunday morning Hyde & Seek screenings at 11:00 in Screen Two are Autism friendly. These relaxed screenings are intended to provide a safe environment for neurodiverse audiences and anyone who finds standard screenings challenging. They feature prompt start times, raised lighting, reduced volume and a relaxed attitude to noise/moving around. To give audiences extra space, we reduce the capacity at these screenings, so pre-booking is advised as they often sell out.
