Mr Burton 
COMING SOON TO KISMET
Mr Burton is just one of the events that Kismet will be presenting in the upcoming months. Stay tuned for details.
From psychological dramas celebrating kick-ass female directors, life-affirming stories of Holocaust survival, to pondering the next agricultural revolution, Kismet films will take you on a journey through wildly different worlds, BUT they all have something pretty special to say and something pretty important to talk about.
