If you fancy a free trip to the Ominiplex in Newry this Sunday 9 February, you could be in luck as Escapes, a nationwide initiative supported by the BFI is offering families free tickets to see the funny and heartfelt animation The Sloth Lane.
Escapes is on a mission to offer families a free and exciting way to spend a Sunday together. Since launching in February 2024, the initiative has welcomed over 65,000 people across the UK to discover a range of incredible independent films, from the gripping The Iron Claw starring Zac Efron to the Oscar-nominated Kneecap and the 90’s cult classic Point Break. Backed by the BFI and National Lottery funding, Escapes will continue to bring fresh films to audiences every month in 2025, providing the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy a cinematic adventure together at no cost.
The Sloth Lane sees a speedy sloth named Laura and her kooky family move to the big city in their rusted old food truck, hoping to make their business a success. It's a coming-of-age tale that the whole family will love, the movie reminds the audience to appreciate the delicious, funny and wonderful parts of life, and to ‘season’ the moment.
The Sunday matinee offers families the chance to book up to two adults and three children per order. This exciting opportunity means families can step into a world of storytelling, laughter, and shared moments without spending a penny.
Promising another incredible year of free independent film, Escapes will announce a new and exciting film every month. Tickets are FREE and available for sign up now via: escapes.cinematik.app
Escapes is a nationwide initiative supported by the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding, aimed at making cinema more accessible for everyone. Through free screenings at over 150 independent cinemas across the UK, Escapes provides an opportunity for new and returning audiences to discover the magic of cinema. Whether it's a blockbuster, an indie gem, or a cult classic like Point Break, Escapes is committed to engaging local communities and breaking down barriers to cinema-going.
