Paper Cinema + The Red Balloon

A very special double-bill to launch our family programme. Firstly there’s a performance by The Paper Cinema, who use cut-out drawings to make a film before your very eyes. The story is called Night Flyer, about a boy on a bike, with live music provided by Kora. Then we go from bikes to balloons, and a film made in Paris fifty years ago...

Dir: Albert Lamorisse France 1956, 34 minutes

Feat. Paper Cinema; Pascal Lamorisse

Then we go from bikes to balloons, and a film made in Paris fifty years ago. Pascal finds a red balloon and they become the best of friends, until a group of bullies interfere... A lovely tale about following your dreams, which is still screened around the world today.
