Tomboy Trailer

A surprise box-office hit in its native France with over 200,000 admissions, Peccadillo Pictures bring us Celine Sciamma’s TOMBOY. Ten year old Laure isn’t like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new neighbourhood, family life remains much the same. That is, until local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Michael, and so begins a summer of long sunny afternoons, playground games and first kisses. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.

The second film from the director of the critically acclaimed Water Lilies, TOMBOY received its world premiere in the Panorama section of the 2011 Berlin Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Jury Award. The film won further acclaim around its UK premiere at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival.
