Why watch?
“I really loved My Life as a Courgette, so I had high hopes, and this didn’t disappoint! The stop-motion animation is mesmerising and has incredibly cute scenes with small children and a baby orangutan holding leaves to protect themselves from the rain. But as well as the cuteness, the film delivers important political messages in a way that’s thought-provoking for all ages. The only problem is I want a baby orangutan now.”

Set on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. One day, at the edge of the immense tropical forest where she lives, 11-year-old Kéria steps in to protect an orphaned baby orangutan. As she takes care of the young ape, her young cousin Selaï takes refuge with them to escape the conflict between his family and the forestry company who are trying to destroy his home.
From then on, the trio fight together against the threat of destruction that weighs on their ancestral forest. At the same time Kéria is given a rare opportunity to discover her Penan roots.

Join us from 10:30 before our Saturday screening for a self-led, drop-in activity to make your very own orangutan finger puppet!
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.
