Blending real life and imagination, Liyana follows a group of orphaned children in Swaziland as they work with South African storyteller Gcina Mhlope to create their own original tale. Together, they dream up the character of Liyana, a brave young girl who sets off on a daring quest to rescue her twin brothers. As the children’s story unfolds, the film weaves between their real voices and beautiful animated scenes that bring Liyana’s adventure to life. The result is an inspiring mix of documentary and animation that celebrates the power of storytelling.

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 (aged 11 and under) 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]
