BFI Saturday Morning at the Pictures
Odeon West End, Leicester Square
Saturday 23 June, 10.30am
In conjunction with West End Live
Celebrating the launch of a new Kids' strand in the BFI Southbank's Mediatheque, the BFI has joined forces with the Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square and the West End Live festival to stage a special one-off re-creation of a traditional Saturday morning at the pictures on 23rd June 2007.
Our Saturday celebration will be very different to the experience of cinema as most of today's children know it. There will be quizzes, prizes, entertainment, audience participation and, of course, films with 1950s commissionaires adding atmosphere. Grandparents and parents will remember the fun and hectic chaos of the Saturday Matinees and children will just have a great time! The main attraction will be the screening of 4D Special Agents, a crime story based around a group of children in the East End of London. Total programme running time approximately 90 minutes.
This exciting adventure will delight and enthral children from aged 5 upwards. It's also completely free so bring all the family for a great start to the fun of West End Live, a series of events and activities promoted by Westminster City Council around the West End.
All West End Live events are free, but tickets for the Saturday morning at the Pictures must be booked in advance by calling: 0207 930 5252
During the day there will also be a BFI Film Activity Tent in Leicester Square. Drop in and discover how to create an animated film using claymation or 2D effects and also discover the history of animation using optical toys such as a Praxinoscope and Zoetrope models. There will also be a unique opportunity to view films from the BFI Mediatheque collection.
