About the films
Unfortunately, we can’t show all the films available on the tour and the selection process is challenging: there are so many good ones to choose from! Both of our nights will feature a completely different set of films, covering a wide range of subject matter, with no particular overall theme. We do consider this a “family-friendly” show but a few films may have “coarse language” warnings. Consider yourselves warned!
