Flatpack Day 11 (31st)

DAY 11

 

Highlights

Wadjda- The charming and quietly barbed story of a young Saudi girl who dreams of having her own bike. Wadjda arrives weighed down not just with festival plaudits but plenty of history too, as the first film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first by a female director. It’s also a joy to watch. 18:00-19:45, Electric, £7/£5

Out of the Inkwell-  Film, traditional Chinese music from The Jasmine Moon Ensemble, calligraphy, tai chi, and tasty, authentic food served throughout. 12:30-17:00, Cherish House, FREE

Ernest & Celestine- This funny animated tale – adapted from the picture books by Gabrielle Vincent – was made by the duo behind A Town Called Panic, and is perfect Sunday afternoon viewing for young and old. Ages 7+.  14:00-15:30, mac, £5/£3
