When a flood of biblical proportions washes its home away, a solitary cat must seek refuge with a motley crew of animals, who gradually learn to get along in this endearing, Oscar-winning animation.
Wunderkind director Gints Zilbalodis has taken the animation world by storm with his beautifully crafted sophomore feature Flow, which has received a multitude of awards and nominations to date, including two nominations for both BAFTA and the Academy Awards.
The mystical world he creates in Flow is in peril. There are traces of human inhabitants, but they are now nowhere to be seen as water begins to flood the landscape.
The story begins following a small, solitary cat as the shoreline rises and the home where it once lived is submerged underwater. Forced to flee, he happens upon a refuge boat containing a calm and unperturbed Cabybarre who seems amenable to his presence, and the two begin a journey on the water towards higher ground.
Along the way they cross paths with a lemur, obsessed with collecting shiny objects, a boisterous and excitable dog and a stoic, mysterious secretary bird.
Together, as they traverse the landscape on their fable-like quest, the ragtag team of animals must learn to trust each other and work together to survive. Flow pushes the boundaries of animation, immersing audiences in a world before unseen.

The wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.
This is a fundraising event for Prickles in a Pickle – The Hedgehog Rescue Charity
Join us for an illustrated talk about the experiences of a young Paratroop officer during the Falklands War.
As the Veterans of D-Day are now too old to give talks about the momentous events they experienced 81 years ago, Peter Osborne, a veteran of the Falklands War has been asked on several occasions recently to talk about his experiences of that war.
Although a much smaller conflict, there is a nexus, with both having amphibious landings and close-quarter fighting. He has kindly agreed to come and tell us his story and will be donating his fee – all Proceeds go to Prickles in a Pickle Hedgehog Rescue Charity based in Stoke Fleming.
The bar will open at 6.15pm, the talk starts at 7pm for 1.5 hours, after which there will be a Q&A session and a chance to meet the speaker.
All proceeds from the talk will be match funded by The Fisher Trust, effectively doubling every pound. Your ticket purchase will help to protect and preserve the beautiful hedgehog population in the UK.

A welcome return to The Flavel for Adam Dyer, this time accompanied by his Jazz Quartet!
Brought up as a teenager in Kingswear, Adam graduated from Christ’s College, Cambridge and, subsequently, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Having played classical music from the age of seven, he took to playing jazz piano in his mid-teens. Following his time at the Guildhall he travelled to Scandinavia to study jazz for two years on a full scholarship. He now lives in London but often returns to Devon for holidays with his young family.
His quartet with Eric Ford (drums) and Jakub Cywinski (bass) and Duncan Eagles (saxophone) recorded his debut album, River Spirit, which has received critical acclaim and radio play on BBC Radio 3.
‘Pianist Adam Dyer‘s debut album is a winning combination of lively post-bop originals, some romantic ballads and a couple of reworked standards’ Patrick Hadfield, UK Jazz News
‘A highly original album which will enchant listeners for years to come.’
Sarah Walker, presenter, BBC Radio 3
