Waiting for Anya – film screening

Drop in and watch the film of Waiting for Anya, Ben Cookson’s World War II drama based upon Michael Morpurgo’s novel of the same name. The plot tells the story of Jo Lalande (Noah Schnapp), a 13-year old shepherd, his grandfather (Jean Reno) and a widow Horcada (Anjelica Huston), who help smuggle Jewish children across the border from southern France into Spain during WWII. We are showing back to back screenings throughout the day, so catch it between events. Waiting for Anya is on release in select UK cinemas courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment. ‘I saw my story of Waiting for Anya in my mind’s eye as I was writing it. Now all these years later, I have seen it on the screen. What a film they have made! Astonishingly beautiful and moving, it is a tribute to all those who have made it, who have given my story new life, and to Kaleidoscope who will be bringing it to so many.’ Michael Morpurgo
