Curated especially for the youngest of film fans by the Barbican Cinema Team, why not drop by for a selection of short films from all over the world and start your Sunday with a screening? Showing in the lovely relaxed environment of Langthorne Pavillion, this is the perfect introduction to world cinema for littl’uns in bite-sized chunks. And if you like this programme, we recommend the Barbican’s Family Film Club if you’re keen to give cinema screenings a try. Family Film Club takes place in the Barbican’s Cinema 2 every Saturday at 11am and at the end of each month, there is a free pre-film activity.
