Join us on Yorkshire Day (Thursday 1st August, 2.00pm) for a very special Kestrel themed introduction before the film from Clare Brown, the Curator of Natural Science at Leeds Museums and Galleries, to learn about all things Kestrel related. Arrive early from 1.30pm to get a special up-close opportunity to see some birds of prey from their impressive collection!Kes is the tough, touching story of a northern schoolboy and the kestrel that brings hope to his hardscrabble life remains the most widely admired of Ken Loach’s films.
Loach made his name directing television plays, but it was his second cinema feature Kes that demonstrated the extent of his cinematic imagination. Adapted from Barry Hines’s novel A Kestrel for a Knave, it tells of fifteen-year-old Billy Casper, who seems destined for a life in the coal mines of his home town, Barnsley. But Billy’s discovery of a kestrel, and his dedication in training it, give him optimism - however temporary.
All weekend Hyde & Seek Screenings are Pay What You Can including £0.
Further screenings of Kes will also be available on Saturday an Sunday, including an Autism Friendly Screening.
