APRIL 12TH – 20TH
One of the most admirable aspects of Mark Cousins’ excellent new documentary A Story of Children and Film is the desire it instils in viewers to seek out the films it celebrates. Many are so rare as to be known to only the most ardent cinephiles, and have seldom if ever screened in this country before.
To rectify this, Cousins, in partnership with Filmhouse and the British Film Institute, has worked to have a selection of the films referenced made available in new digital restorations, from which the titles in this short season have been selected. Eschewing English language representations of childhood for international work strengthens the film’s point of view on the universalness of the experience while still providing fascinating insight into cultural differences across continents. Like the documentary itself, each of these is a joy to watch, and we’re delighted to take this opportunity to present these special screenings.
