BIRD
12-year-old Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn't have time to devote to them; he’s too busy looking forward to his imminent wedding and pursuing wealth by importing hallucinogenic toads. Bailey’s confused and unhappy about her new stepmother, and her mum is struggling to deal with a chaotic new relationship. Bailey seeks adventure and attention elsewhere, and finds it when an eccentric, troubled young man called Bird turns up and asks for her help.

REVIEWS
"A classic Andrea Arnold picture, complete with striking new talent and moving insight into life lived on the margins." ★★★★ Sophie Butcher, Empire Magazine
"For all Keoghan’s star power and Rogowski’s diligence, Adams is the centre of the film." ★★★★ Danny Leigh, Financial Times
"Fish Tank director Andrea Arnold returns to kitchen sink realism - and finds freedom and joy over darkness." ★★★★ Christina Newland, iNews
"Perhaps unexpectedly, Bird calls to mind Spielberg’s seminal sci-fi E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, in which another child forms a friendship with a mysterious visitor looking for a home." Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
ACCESSIBILITY
Flashing Images
This film contains sequences featuring flashing lights which may affect viewers who are suspectible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitivities.
Subtitles
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. "(sighs)" or "(door creaks)" and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.
Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with Descriptive Subtitles where available.
AGE RATING
BIRD is rated 15. Under 15s will not be admitted. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website.
Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.
Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
