500 Miles

  • What's on: Film
  • 500 Miles

    • Two brothers run away from home in England to reach their estranged grandfather on Ireland's west coast.

    500 MILES is a poetic, life-affirming road movie and celebration of the human spirit that follows a broken family forced to come together when two young brothers run away from home.

    While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne and Michael Socha) desperately search for them, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker Cate (Maisie Williams), helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry and their estranged, beloved grandfather (Bill Nighy), who their parents have not spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.

    ART31

    ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

    ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

    The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
