The screening is part of TALES OF WISDOM AND WONDER, a season of films based on retellings of traditional tales from other cultures, especially for Primary school audiences. The programme aims to broaden childrens and young peoples cultural awareness, literacy skills and cineliteracy abilities. The screenings will be supplemented with teaching resource packs and pre-screening discussion led by cinema educators.
THE IRON GIANT (U) is an adventurous, comic book obsessed young boy meets the stuff of fantasy when rumours of a colossal robot turn out to be true. After bonding with the Iron Giant, young Hogarth Hughes makes it his mission to hide and protect the creature from the suspicious government agent that has just moved into town. The Iron Giant is a poignant tale about overcoming kneejerk reactions and learning to think positively about unfamiliarity, as well as about finding heroism in many forms.
