30th Anniversary Film Festival: Swallows and Amazons (PG)

2016 Swallows and Amazons (PG) Based on the book of the same name by Arthur Ransome. Two different groups of children encounter one another on an island they both live by. Both groups try to claim it. While this happens they encounter another boat and a stranger, they must now work together to work out who he is and why he is there, but have they got themselves involved in something much bigger? “Arthur Ransome's well-loved tale of children running wild in the Lake District is given a modern tweak to satisfy young audiences more used to the special effect-heavy world of Harry Potter”.
