WHAT: Into Film are pleased to present a screening of The Breadwinner as part of the Belfast Film Festival.
WHEN: Wednesday 18 April 2018, 10:00 am 12:00noon
WHERE: Moviehouse, Dublin Road, Belfast
Synopsis:
The Breadwinner's stunning visuals are matched by a story that dares to confront sobering, real-life issues with uncommon and richly rewarding honesty. Presented in association with Film Hub NI and Into Film.
Parvana is an 11-year-old growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom- and danger.
With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family. Equal parts thrilling and enchanting, The Breadwinner is an inspiring and luminously animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times.
This event is supported by Film Hub NI, part of the BFI Film Audience Network.
Part of ‘Anim18: A Celebration of British Animation'. For activities and events across the UK in 2018 visit Anim18.
