Afternoon Session: Alfie, the Little Werewolf and Halloween crafts... Creative Activity: 1.30pm, Film Screening: 2.30pm–4pm
PG, Suitable for ages 6+ (Dutch with English subtitles)
Get ready for a spooky afternoon of film, creativity and Halloween fun at Turner Contemporary!
This Halloween, join Small World Cinema for a special screening of Alfie, the Little Werewolf; a sweet and funny film from the Netherlands about a seven-year-old boy who discovers a rather surprising secret about himself. As well as being a fun Halloween adventure, the film is a lovely story about growing up, finding out who you are and learning to celebrate what makes you different. Please note that the film has English subtitles but can be understood and enjoyed even if you miss a few words here and there.
Before the film screening, get creative with our themed arts and crafts, making your own spooky masks and special paper nails (or claws!) to transform yourself into your favourite Halloween creature.
This project is supported by the BFI Film Audience Network and National Lottery funding.
