This screening will be preceded by a youth-made short film which has been produced by a local group of young people as part of Into Film's Every Child a Filmmaker programme, generously supported by Amazon MGM Studios. Every Child a Filmmaker is an inclusive programme giving groups of young people around the UK the opportunity to work with professional filmmakers and bring their stories to life through film.

Upon temporarily moving into an Airbnb, Dean, a documentary filmmaker, is surprised to discover Marcel amongst all the clutter. Marcel is a 1-inch tall shell who lives alone with his elderly grandma (also a shell) after being separated from the rest of his family years previously during an unknown event. Upon learning about this, Dean begins to film a documentary in the hopes that Marcel, with his sweet nature and offbeat philosophies on life, can go viral and be reunited with his family. Surprisingly poignant, persistently adorable and built around themes of family, friendship and identity, this is an eccentric comedy, part live-action and part animation, that will appeal to a wide variety of ages.
