The long-awaited return to fiction filmmaking from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank), BIRD is a tender, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable about marginalised life in the fringes of contemporary society.
12-year-old Bailey (astounding newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan, Saltburn) and wayward brother Hunter in a squat in Gravesend, north Kent. Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure, Bailey's fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird (Franz Rogowski, Passages), a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own. A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in her typically empathetic social realism, Arnold's latest strides to the wildly poetic rhythm of her own drum.
In addition to the special advance screening...
We are very pleased to welcome back Peter Howell for a THIRD year! A renowned expert in the field of film, Peter will introduce the film and speak about why it's so special.

Peter says:
“There are distinct Frank Capra vibes in this brilliantly barmy dramedy from Andrea Arnold (“American Honey”), set in a no-hope neighbourhood in England’s North Kent region. Nykiya Adams astounds as 12-year-old Bailey, the centre of every social hurricane." ...
