Tomboy

Ten-year-old Laure isn’t like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new neighbourhood, family life remains much the same. That is, until local girl Lisa mistakes Laure for a boy. Céline Sciamma beautifully encapsulates the behaviour and the mindset of a conflicted pre-adolescent, tackling themes of gender identity.

Preceded by a poetry workshop, the Blake Bingo at 12.40pm | 10+

About the Blake Bingo

As part of the series Innocence and Experience the screening of Tomboy will be preceded by a poetry workshop for children and adults hosted by Jaymini Mistry with the support of Stephen Pritchard (The Blake Society). The bingo cards will be based on lines of poetry from William Blake’s collection, Songs of Innocence and Experience. Come join us at the Institut français to learn more about William Blake and to play a game of bingo! The winner will be given a special prize!
