Hackney Children’s Film Festival | Sat 24 - Sat 31 October
Tickets £5 or £3 with a Hackney Library Card
A Rio Cinema Project
The kids have waited long enough! This October half term, the Rio brings Hackney its first ever Children's Film Festival, with a lively and enchanting film programme curated especially for young audiences.
Age 8+
Join our host Conor Dev-Powel for an showcase of animated and live action short films from neurodivergent creatives, especially for the Rio family audience! Submissions are still open, but we hear there are some real treasures already confirmed in the programme! Conor is part of the Rio programming community and will be joined by Sophie and Claire from Saturday Morning Picture Show.
Festival screening notes:
We have an advisory PG cert, but young audiences of 8+ will get the most from the screening
This is a Relaxed Screening with lights a little higher, sound a little lower and you should feel totally welcome to be yourself while the short films are on - move around as you wish
You will have a chance to ask Conor any questions you like, while he is introducing the screening or afterwards in the cafe!
