Welcome to the eye-popping, mind-blowing, time-travelling world of cinema! On this twinkling wee site,
you can discover brilliant films that we’d love you to see. They will take you on fantastic journeys,
to see wonders you’ve never imagined.
On your 8½ birthday, we’d love you to have a party: invite your friends; watch a movie and, together,
take a ride on a magic carpet to faraway lands.
You’ve probably seen films like Toy Story and Shrek. We love them too, but here are some less well known films
we think are fantastic.
Like Willy Wonka’s sweets, the films you’ll find here are all very different and surprising. Some might blow the top of your
head off; some might make you turn purple (no, not really); some you will love; some might make you go ugh. But until you try
them, you’ll never know...

We’ve been busy! We’ve celebrated sending out 2000 films by commissioning ace animator Alice Nelson to make a wee film about our parcels. Take a look…
Wonderful organisation for children in Glasgow and now in Edinburgh.
We think these films are so great that we have been giving some of them away for free, as 8½ birthday presents, to a few lucky children in a few special Scottish places. We are working with schools all around Scotland.

When we spy a great film coming on telly or at the cinema, or when we are doing a screening
or a talk or something daft, we’d like to tell you about it. If you want to receive such information,
fill in your details here or follow us on Facebook or Twitter. And spread the word!
