The Florida Project

Hurst Village Cinema

18/04/2025

With all the buzz around Sean Baker’s Anora at the moment, it gives me a good excuse to show his magnificent 2017 film. I’ve wanted to screen since I first saw it. David Saitch and I were talking to a community cinema colleague at the Sheffield awards about the film, and he said, “goodness, we couldn’t show that to our lot!” That always struck me as very condescending, but it also served to remind us how lucky we are that HVC has such a robust and open-minded membership, who are happy to absorb everything we throw at them.Willem Defoe is one of only a couple of recognised actors in the film as most of the parts are taken by those who have no acting experience. Six-year-old Brooklynn Prince is amazing, you feel the director just followed her around and filmed her, rather than giving her lines from a script, and Bria Vinaite as her mother is equally astonishing. A raw and vibrant exploration of those living on the margins of society, but told with a big heart.
