FRENCH FILM, 14th and 15th DECEMBER 2021 IN THE FORUM CINEMA, HEXHAM

Petite Maman (U) subtitled.

On 14th December the Forum was busy for drinks and snacks before the viewing. The latest film from Céline Sciamma ('Portrait of a Lady on Fire', 'Girlhood'), 'Petite Maman' is a modern fairytale about the quiet wonder of mother-daughter relationships. After the death of her beloved grandmother, eight-year-old Nelly meets a mysterious friend in the woods.

Together they embark on a fantastical journey of discovery which helps Nelly come to terms with this recent loss. A favourite of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, Sciamma’s new masterwork examines childhood, memory and loss with a typically delicate touch, elegantly weaved together into an enchanting and moving depiction of love and acceptance.

A Forum Cinema showing in partnership with Hexham Town Twinning Association.
