Take your family underwater at Hackney Picturehouse!
We’ve pulled together a selection of aquatic-themed animations for our friends at Picturehouse, as part of a free afternoon of family-friendly film, crafts and activities… all with a sea-theme! In keeping with the underwater ideas, come dressed as your favourite sea creature – there will be prizes for the best outfits!
Suitable for ages 3+, adults must be accompanied by a child (and vice versa!)
This event has been organised by the Industry Insiders team – a very talented group of 15-19 year olds who are getting an insight into the film industry with the support of Hackney Picturehouse.
