Turning Red
PG
Why watch?
“Aside from the gaggle of firsts Turning Red represents (the first Pixar feature film solely directed by a woman, the first to feature an Asian lead in well over a decade) what has most endeared it to audiences as a modern classic in the making is the tender and beautiful representation of growing up and all the tensions that come with it. The push and pull between mothers and daughters. The particular pressures on diaspora communities. There's just so much to love here, it's beautiful.”
Wendy,
Head of Cinema
From the director of the magnificent Bao (2018) short film, Turning Red follows a thirteen-year-old girl as she battles the challenges of staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the changes of adolescence. And as if things weren't tough enough, whenever she gets overly excited she transforms into a giant red panda!
This film will be accompanied by the short film Kitbull (dir. Rosana Sullivan, 2020, 9mins)
