Moomins on the Riviera + Workshop

Helsinki-born writer/illustrator Tove Jansson’s enduring creations come to the big screen in this subversively old-fashioned (and lovingly respectful) feature. Shipping up on the ritzy shores of the Riviera, the Moomins unwittingly check into an expensive hotel, naively dazzled by l’elegance of the Côte d’Azur. Sharp gags about the value of art and the worthlessness of wealth are interwoven through the folk-tale noodling, while the gentle strokes of the animation provide a pastel-hued riposte to more fashionably frenzied family-friendly fare.


Come early and take part in our free themed workshop led by teacher and animator, Silas Money to make the most of the cheapest kids ticket in town!


For our Family Flicks screenings the pre-film workshop starts at 4pm and the film starts at 4.30pm.
