How to Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon is coming to The Odeon on Wednesday 4 November, as part of the Harrogate Film Society's new season. It's the 2010 DreamWorks animation, directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders, and it runs for 98 minutes. It's rated PG, so it's one for the whole family.

This screening opens the society's Young Person Cinema season, which is themed around humans and their relationships with other life forms. The film fits that right in the middle: it's about a young Viking who befriends a dragon he was supposed to kill, and the friendship that changes how his whole village sees the creatures they've spent generations fighting. If you've seen it before, it's a good one to revisit on the big screen; if you haven't, it's a great place to start with the series.

For a bit of context, the Harrogate Film Society has been bringing world cinema to the town since 1955, run entirely by volunteers. The Harrogate Advertiser has called it 'one of the biggest and most progressive film societies in the North'. They screen at the Odeon to give audiences the full cinema experience, with surround sound and comfortable seating. Their core season runs from September to April, with around 15 films each year, alongside a Classic Season and an Art Season they run with the Friends of Mercer Art Gallery.

The screening is in Screen 3 at the Harrogate Odeon on East Parade, HG1 5LB. It starts at 7pm, with doors open from 6.45pm. Seats are limited to 70 unreserved, and there's one wheelchair space available on request.
