A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, starring Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, will hit the screen at the organisation's pop-up cinema on Friday, March 13.

Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod.

A jaded magazine writer, played by Matthew Rhys, he is assigned to write a profile on Rogers, a beloved children's TV icon.

He was known for his overwhelming sense of generosity towards his audience and all people that he came into contact with.

Despite not believing that anyone could be as good a person as that, an unlikely friendship gradually blooms between them.

Junod overcomes his scepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America's most beloved neighbour.

"The movie has received critical acclaim, with The Times giving it five stars and Rotten Tomatoes rating it at 95 per cent," Scone Films' Catherine Boulton said.

"If you haven't been before, come along and support your local community cinema.

"Experience the excellent picture quality and surround sound from our digital equipment.
