ISOLATION & RECONNECTION

Sunday 9th   Kings Cross

Welcome to the Closing Night of Little Wing 2022!

 

The past two years have made us all reckon with who we are in the face of isolation, who we are in our relationships, and who we are to our community. Whether it's contact and compassion during a pandemic, or the complexities of family and care that have existed forever, tonight's films explore how we connect to ourselves and each other.

 

Tonight we're taking over a screen in Everyman King's Cross for our final screening of the week, exploring isolation and reconnection just in time to say goodbye once again. Stick around right after the screening as we present this year's awards, and join us for a drink at the bar afterwards to celebrate another stellar year of grassroots film. The in-cinema screening tonight is at 5:45, with arrival from 5pm.
