GREEN SCREEN 2012
A season of films exploring our changing environment
A TURTLES TALE (U)
A spectacular animation following the adventures of Sammy the sea turtle as he searches the ocean for his one true love. During the epic journey which all turtles must accomplish before returning to the beach where they were born, Sammy dodges every possible danger; he battles with piranhas, escapes a fish eagle and searches for a mysterious secret passage, in the hope of meeting Shelly again. Throughout this fifty-year voyage we see the effects of global warming take their toll on the oceans though Sammys eyes.

MARCH OF THE PENGUINS (U)
Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, a truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber onto the frozen ice and journey into a region so bleak, so extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year. Compelling narration weaves science and legend together artfully to create a film that will enthrall and educate in equal measures, supporting the teaching and learning of science, environment, animals and habitat topics.

Please book for either date before 4pm FRIDAY 4 MAY
Telling of the rise of the sharp-suited Bugsy Malone and the battle for power between Fat Sam and Dandy Dan, this Chicago-set gangster movie is a classic of the genre with one big twist all the gangsters are children and the gang wars are fought not with bullets but with splat guns that cover the victims in cream.
Ok, it wont end up in a custard pie fight, but let your students let down their hair after their exam stress with a screening of the fabulous BUGSY MALONE!
