Come on let's play! is a 60 minute programme of children's animations from the Czech Republic and Hungary, all made in the 1960s.

Featuring works by the oft-described 'mother of Czech animation', Hermína Týrlová, and the Hungarian cult classic, The Pencil & The Eraser, the programme takes its title from the iconic Czech animated TV series, Hey Mister, Let's Play! (Pojďte pane, budeme si hrát) created by Břetislav Pojar and Miroslav Štěpánek - of which the hilarious 'Hold onto your Hat!' (Držte si klobouk) features here.

Collectively, the films explore inanimate worlds brought to life by the magic of stop-motion and beautiful moving illustration. Two balls of wool unravel into a cheeky dance, a pencil and an eraser come to heads in a battle of wills, and two mischievous hands threaten to steal a juicy apple! With very little dialogue, only visual magic and sound, the films in Come On Let's Play! delight with mischief and wonder.

Suitable for children ages 4+ years and grown ups, too!

After his large-scale historical dramas (Mr Turner, Peterloo), Mike Leigh has returned to chronicling the lives of ordinary people in contemporary Britain in this collaboration with Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies).  She is Pansy, a classic Leigh character: acerbic, misunderstood, fed up with life. Physical illness and emotional difficulties have caused her to lash out at the world. These moods mean that her husband and sons need to tread cautiously around her, while her sister Chantal (Michele Austin) is the only one who can truly get through to her. Everything comes to a climax over the course of a fraught Mother’s Day weekend, observed with unwavering realism by the master of contemporary domestic drama. A masterful return to form for Leigh, with another superb performance from Jean-Baptiste.
