Kes: Yorkshire Day Screening

What better way to celebrate Yorkshire Day than a big outdoor screening of Kes, surely the best film ever made in Yorkshire.

Ken Loach’s adaptation of Barry Hines’s novel A Kestrel for a Knave is the story of a teenage lad called Billy Casper in a poor South Yorkshire community who finds meaning and agency in his life by training a wild kestrel. Loach worked closely with Hines as screenwriter and cinematographer Chris Menges who used only natural light. The film is a transcendent tale of ordinary lives, quietly moving and hilarious in turns, full of iconic scenes from Billy’s passionate classroom show and tell, to the farcical football scene with Brian Glover’s unbearable PE teacher.

‘Kes is one of the most astute, engaged films about education and what it takes for kids to be excited about learning or passionate about anything, really.’ — Time Out
