Elf

You all looked so cute when we showed this one previous Christmas, that we'd love you to don your finest Elf-wear again to our favourite family movie. PRIZE FOR THE BEST-DRESSED ELF!

Buddy (Will Ferrell) is different from all of Santa's other elves. For one thing, he's "a cotton-headed ninny muggins" when it comes to making toys. For another, he's 6'3". And the real clincher: he's human!

So one special December, Buddy sets off on a holiday adventure to New York City in quest of his real dad. how Buddy finds his father (James Caan) and the meaning of Christmas is a joyous, jaunty, sweet-as-a-candy-cane gift for everyone who loves bright contemporary comedy - and timeless all-family classics.

About our Autism-friendly 'relaxed' screenings:

An Autism-friendly screening is where people can watch a film in a relaxed environment.

They are different from regular film screenings because:

• the lights are low instead of completely off, so you can still see where you're going
• the volume is a little lower than a standard screening
• you can move around the cinema freely as you wish during the screening
• you can leave the cinema room during the screening and return without having to worry
• you can make noise, stim, and enjoy yourself
• there is a friendly atmosphere
• there are people around if you need any help

These screenings are for anyone who would feel safe and welcome in this environment.

At Electric Palace, we think the cinema should be for everyone, that's why we offer Autism-friendly screenings.
