Momo and the Time Thieves

Momo and the Time Thieves is playing at Hyde Park Picture House on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November. It's a family fantasy film, and it's part of the cinema's Hyde & Seek strand, which is their dedicated family programme.

If you're not familiar with the cinema, Hyde Park Picture House is on Brudenell Road in Headingley. It opened in 1914 as one of the country's most distinctive and historic cinemas — the Yorkshire Evening Post called it 'the cosiest in Leeds' back then. It's survived the arrival of talkies, radio, television, video, multiplexes and the internet to stay a friendly, local, independent cinema showing independent, documentary and classic films from around the globe, supported by a loyal base of staff, volunteers, members and even the odd Hollywood A-lister. The venue recently had conservation work done to its façade and auditorium, and new accessible facilities including a second screen.

Hyde & Seek is the cinema's family-friendly strand, run by their Young Audiences Officer Sylvia with input from the wider programming team and the Independent Cinema Office. It's a regular thing: toddler-friendly screenings on Fridays, free crafts on Saturdays and autism-friendly sessions on Sundays, many on a pay-what-you-can basis. Momo and the Time Thieves fits right into that, with an autism-friendly screening as part of the run.

Tickets are £2.50, and the film runs across the weekend of Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November at Hyde Park Picture House, 73 Brudenell Road, Headingley, Leeds LS6 1JD.
