The Fabelmans

The Fabelmans is coming to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 12 December, starting at 4pm. It's a screening of Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical drama, and it's part of the Spielberg Season running at the Pavilion.

For those who haven't seen it, The Fabelmans is a coming-of-age story that draws heavily on Spielberg's own childhood. It follows a young boy who discovers a passion for filmmaking and spends his adolescence making home movies, capturing the world around him on 8mm film. Much of the story centres on his relationship with his parents, and the way his love for cinema both connects him to and separates him from his family. It's a film about the act of making movies as much as it is about the family at its heart.

Being part of the Spielberg Season, this is one of several titles the Pavilion is showing from the director's career, so if you're a fan, there's more to catch around it. The screening takes place in the Main Auditorium, the venue's largest space, which is where you'll want to be for a film like this. It's a late-afternoon showing, so it's an easy one to fit into a Saturday without taking up your whole evening.

It's on Saturday 12 December at 4pm in the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion.
