MATHILDA (12) WED 9 NOV, 10:00AM-12.25PM (continued overleaf)
Wouldn't we all want to be Roald Dahl's Matilda, with her sunny self-reliance and special powers? Well, that will go double in this fantastic adaptation of Dahl's book, one which faithfully captures his unique storytelling voice and spirit. At the fearsome Crunchem Hall school, Matilda makes a friend of the kind Miss Honey - and an enemy of the bullying headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. But Matilda isn't one to give in to bullies - and after all, what are special powers for if not to teach them a lesson? Book directly with Into Film www.intofilm.org

SING STREET (12)
TUES 15 NOV, 10AM-12PM.
In 1980s Dublin, 15-year-old Conor’s guitar is his way of dealing with most things- from blocking out the noise of his parents arguing, to finding new friends at his rough new school, to impressing a mysterious older girl he’s noticed at the school gates. When Conor persuades the beautiful
Raphina to be in a music video, he’s under pressure to actually form a band. With a motley crew of his new classmates he forms ‘Sing Street’- a band that is heavily influenced in sound and image by all the latest hits, from the New Romantics to Depeche Mode. A joyous and very funny coming-of-age tale that deals with serious issues while remaining defiantly optimistic.
