August Cinemagic CineSeekers Film Club to screen Kirikou and The Men and Women

Michel Ocelot returns to his popular series of Kirikou films with yet another dazzling animated film that's a striking alternative to so many contemporary animated movies. In keeping with his other fairy-tale inspired stories this new film tells the further adventures of his hero, Kirikou, in his village in Africa, as this inventive and resourceful child helps his fellow villagers overcome a number of difficulties. Kirikou's kindness and energy win out every time. The visual style of the film is quite beautiful and the story's focus on the relationship between a child and their community makes for essential viewing.

The CineSeekers Film Club is a monthly film event for young people. Based in QFT, the club's ethos is to promote and celebrate a diverse and varied range of international children's films. By providing our young audience with a regular outlet for world cinema, the aim is to develop and nurture a broader appreciation, understanding and love of film; as well as celebrating the stories, peoples and cultures from around the globe.

The film (Cert U) screens from 4.00pm-5.30pm in Queen's Film Theatre Belfast on Saturday 29th August. To purchase tickets priced at £4.00 visit www.queensfilmtheatre.com
