Kino Kids Cinema Club: Whale RiderPG

Directed by Niki Caro | New Zealand | 2002 | 1h 41m | Starring Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene, Vicky Haughton, Cliff Curtis, Grant Roa.

Tradition creates conflict within a family when a young Māori girl challenges convention to claim what she believes is her rightful place as leader of her tribe. Set in contemporary New Zealand, this inspiring and uplifting drama explores the clash between old-fashioned beliefs and the limitless potential of individuals determined to break barriers.

Tickets for Kino Kids Cinema Club screenings are £4 for Children (under-15s) and £6 for Adults. Screenings are relaxed, meaning that the sound will be turned down a notch, and the lights will be up a little, and we don’t mind if people make a bit of noise or move around during the film.

All children must be accompanied by adults at all times, nor shall we admit adults who do not have children with them. If you have any questions or need any more information about these screenings, please feel free to get in touch by emailing us at: [email protected]

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
