Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (PG)
In late 1960s Japan, toddler Amélie finds the world a peaceful, perplexing mystery until a rapturous encounter with chocolate (relatable) ignites her wild sense of curiosity about everything. Exploring the wonders of nature, Amélie also develops a deep bond with her family’s housekeeper, Nishio-san, and begins to understand the painful history beneath the surface of their idyllic existence as foreigners in post-war Japan. Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, bringing a toddler’s experience of the world brilliantly to life, Maïlys Vallate and Liane-Cho Han’s Little Amélie is a poignant and wondrous story about the healing power of connection.

Join us before the film on Saturday from 10.30am for a drop-in, self led activity!
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.
