A heartwarming scene from a community event centered around an impressively large pumpkin. The image shows a family of four - two adults and two children - gathered around what looks like a giant competition-sized pumpkin, the kind you might see at a harvest festival or pumpkin-growing competition. The setting has a lovely rural or farm atmosphere, with a tractor visible in the background, wooden structures, and autumn foliage. Everyone seems engaged and interested in examining this enormous gourd, which has that characteristic pale orange color and thick, twisted stem that giant pumpkins develop.

Colour Box: Grow

About Colour Box: Grow

A troubled young girl begins a new life with her tough aunt and discovers a supernatural talent that might help her win the contentious local pumpkin-growing contest.

Director John McPhail (Anna and the Apocalypse) returns with this exuberant and thoroughly entertaining family film which fuses twisted humour and wild imagination with a stirring story of family healing, all set against the backdrop of an apparently sleepy Scottish town.

The drop-in workshop begins at 10am in the Deloitte Room and the relaxed/subtitled film screening begins at 11am in the Cinema. Tickets are also available to see the film without the workshop.
