Song of the Sea tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse – the last Seal-child – who embark on a fantastic journey across a fading world of ancient legend and magic in an attempt to return to their home by the sea. The film takes inspiration from the mythological Selkies of Irish folklore, who live as seals in the sea but become humans on land.
Song of the Sea, directed by Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells) features the voices of Brendan Gleeson, Fionnula Flanagan, David Rawle, Lisa Hannigan, Pat Shortt and Jon Kenny. Music is by composer Bruno Coulais and Irish band Kíla, both of whom previously collaborated on The Secret of Kells.
Start Time: This screening will start at the advertised time. There are no adverts, though a small selection of trailers may play before the film.
Storytelling and Crafts: Join storyteller Beth for a musical and interactive folktale from the sea, with lots of magic, songs and funny jokes. There will be an opportunity to make your own shell and sea glass charm necklace after the storytelling using natural materials.
