Special Preview: Oink (U*) + pre-film quiz

Family Film Week

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

We’re stoked to be hosting a special preview of this charming stop-motion from the Netherlands, not released in the UK until 2024 this is a super sneaky peek at a brand new story.

And before the film, we’ll be hosting an on-stage film quiz – all about animals on film, so get your thinking caps on and your movie trivia trousers ironed (we may even throw in a few questions for the grown-ups too!)

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.
