Discovery Film Festival : 22nd October - 6th November 2011

Scotland's International Film Festival for Young Audiences

Another fantastic programme of world class films for children and young people will begin on 22nd October.    From the opening film, A Cat in Paris, to Steven Spielberg's highly-anticipated Tintin and this year's crop of animated Shorts for Wee Ones, it's shaping up to be another great year.

Saturday 22nd October, 3.15pm - Opening Film: A Cat in Paris 

Ever wonder what your cat gets up to when you're not around?    This charming and visually stunning animation follows the double life of Dino; a loyal tabby to Zoé by day and a cat burglar's accomplice by night.   We'll be joined by a very special guest, Alain Gagnol, the film's co-director and scriptwriter.

The opening event is a great day out for everyone. As well as the film there's the opening of Torsten Lauschmann's new exhibition, Startle Reaction, plus workshops and activities for all ages. A Cat in Paris ticket holders can join us for hot chocolate and French-inspired nibbles at a post-film family reception.

Other festival highlights include laugh-out-loud escapade The Liverpool Goalie, meaningful coming-of-age comedy Aurélie Laflamme's Diary and chilling murder mystery On The Ice. See our whole programme of films, workshops and events at http://www.discoveryfilmfestival.org.uk
