GFT, 12 Rose St G3 6RB
2 – 8 June, 2017
Nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the 2017 Oscars, this stop-motion animation brims with melancholy emotions and an appeal that spans all ages. Courgette is the nickname of a 10-year old boy. When his alcoholic mother dies, he is sent to an orphanage where he instantly becomes a target for bullies. The arrival of the cool, beguiling Camille changes everything. With a script by Céline Sciamma (Tomboy, Girlhood) adapted from Gilles Paris’ book, Courgette evokes the worlds of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman, offering a beguiling, unsentimental journey through childhood tragedy towards a brighter future
