Special Preview: Oink! (U*) + Pre-Film Workshop

Family Film Club

,Cinema 2
A baby piglet looks up from a bundle of other piglets.

This charming stop-motion from the Netherlands is not released in the UK until later this year so come along for a sneaky peek at a brand new story, with a pre film workshop! 

When nine-year-old Babs’ long-lost Grandad arrives in town she’s initially suspicious of him, but when he gifts her a pet piglet (Oink) she gradually lets him into her life. But does he have an ulterior motive for returning to town? A town famed for its Sausage King competition where butchers compete to create the tastiest meat? Can Babs and her vegetarian family truly trust in their quirky relative, or does he have something else to gain?

With gentle charm and plenty of pig poo jokes, this lively stop motion is a massively enjoyable romp and a fantastic chance to try out some world cinema especially made for young audiences.

Don’t forget to drop in from 10am for your free workshop before the film!
