Seen through the eyes of a seven-year-old, Little Fugitive captures the excitement, fear and freedom of childhood in 1950s New York.

When Joey runs away to Coney Island after being tricked into believing he has killed his brother, the legendary amusement park becomes a world of adventure and discovery. Co-directed by photographer Ruth Orkin, Morris Engel and Ray Ashley, this pioneering independent film’s handheld camerawork and naturalistic style would inspire the French New Wave.

Presented in partnership with Leeds Young Film Festival
