Explore the journey of RUNT from book to film with author and screenwriter Craig Silvey.

After our special screening of the funny and heartwarming story of Annie and a stray dog called Runt, Craig Silvey will join us in the cinema at ACMI to share insights into the creative process of adapting a novel for the screen. It’s an ideal opportunity for young storytellers to explore themes of narrative, character development and screenwriting, while learning from one of Australia’s most celebrated writers.

The film is rated PG, & a link to the trailer can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NbydHxy4uI .
