From friendship to hope, prejudice to fame, they’re taking a philosophical voyage through some of the most curious and intriguing kids films to discuss the issues that matter most to us, all led by experienced philosophers from Thinking Space. From cult classic, The Truman Show, to an old favourite, The Secret Garden, via the heart-warming Ernest & Celestine and beautifully animated documentary Liyana, there’s something for children and young people of all ages, with a whole host of intriguing themes and topics to get those philosophical brains whirring.
“We’re delighted to be teaming up with Thinking Space to bring Filmosophy for Families to the Showroom this July. We hope that families will leave these sessions with a newfound curiosity for film and the ways in which it can open up new ways of thinking, learning and living together.”
These events are part of Film Feels Curious, a UK-wide cinema season, supported by the National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network. Explore all films and events at filmfeels.co.uk.
