This month’s blog was written by Mariana Bracho Escalante. Mariana is originally from Cancun Mexico but moved to Scotland in 2022 and has made Falkirk her home for the last two years. Mariana has worked with refugees and asylum seekers for the last ten years and she now works for Falkirk Council as a Refugee Resettlement Worker. She has lived in Spain, Mexico, Palestine, England and now Scotland. She loves to travel, read and has a deep love for films. To coincide with our screenings of the Disney-Pixar animation Coco (2017) at the Hippodrome on 26th and 27th October, we invited Mariana to write a blog piece about the Day of the Dead tradition from her home-country, so central to the film. Mariana is also creating a special Day of the Dead altar at the Hippodrome which you can see when you visit in the days leading up to the screenings and you can even take up Mariana’s invitation to make your own addition to the altar.
The informal event has been planned around the showing of a new film – Much Ado About Dying (cert. 15) – and will be facilitated by members of the teams at Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire Carers’ Centre and Strathcarron Hospice.

The Audience by Peter Morgan Directed by Stephen Daldry Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry. For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
