Activate

This month Electric Cinema gets active with a selection of films that mix sport, play and culture; from football-obsessed dreamers to street-pounding runners. This programme complements Let the Games Begin, Watershed’s season of films, talks and games that invites everyone to reflect on sport’s cultural and social significance.
