A Day in Panem (12A)

May the odds be ever in your favour….

As part of the May Bank Holiday weekend we’re bringing the first four Hunger Games films into the Picture House for a deep dive into the world of Katniss Everdeen ahead of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping which is due to hit cinemas later this year.

The Hunger Games (12A, 2012, 143mins)

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister’s place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she’s pitted against highly trained tributed who have prepared their whole lives. If she’s ever to return home Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

More info

There will be breaks in between the films, where you can stretch your legs and enjoy some some luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper etc. You are fine to bring drinks and snacks into the cinema with you – but hot food and alcohol is not permitted, and we ask audiences not to bring any nuts or shellfish. Please be mindful of fellow audiences and don’t bring anything smelly or that will cause lots of noise/rustling. Food and drink will be available to buy from the cinema throughout the day, with plenty of vegan options.

Film marathons can be such a wonderful collective experience – especially when we are all going on such an epic journey together. But to ensure everyone can fully immerse themselves in Panem, we’ll ask everyone to be extra considerate to one another throughout the day. This means avoiding any loud talking, noisy food and not being on your phone. If you need to do any of these, you’re very welcome to pop out of the screen at any time.
