Several female Can-can dancers with one leg in the air surround a man dancing in the middle of them.

Leslie Caron’s film debut is complete with stunning sets, songs by George Gershwin, elaborate dance sequences and the dazzling Gene Kelly.

Three friends struggle to find work in Paris. Things become more complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman.

Our Dementia Friendly screenings are designed to meet the needs of people living with dementia along with their families and carers. Hosted by the Ageing Creatively team these sessions offer a supportive and accessible environment with reduced sound levels and low lighting, freedom to move around or sing along and has a short comfort break in the middle of the film.
