cinema in the cafe: The Florida Project

Common room presents an intimate screening of Sean Baker’s 2017 film, The Florida Project, on June 28th in the cafe at Spit & Sawdust.

Set amongst families living on the poverty line in a series of budget motels in Orlando, THE FLORIDA PROJECT follows the summer adventures of two 6-year-old girls, Moonee and Jancey. Living in neighbouring motels, Moonee and Jancey, and their friends Scooty and Dickey run amok unsupervised, frequently getting under the feet of Bobby, the tough-but-tender manager of the Magic Castle Motel, where Moonee lives with her explosive 22-year-old mother Halley. Inspired by the Hal Roach Our Gang films of the 1920s and ’30s, the perils and pleasures of childhood have never felt so vivid or alive.

Fancy immersing yourself in the world of film a little more? We are also holding a pre-movie workshop: An Introduction to colour in film for an additional £4 before the film. Come and dive into the language of colour with us!
