Didi (2024)

Maidstone Film Society has been screening films from the UK and around the world since 1948. If you love cinema you will love Maidstone Film Society, a community-minded programme that champions contemporary world cinema alongside British titles and independent releases. Regular screenings bring together film fans to discover new voices, revisit classics and enjoy thoughtful, character-led storytelling on the big screen.

One of the titles in the current programme is Didi (2024), a tender coming-of-age story set in the last days of summer before high school. The film follows an impressionable Taiwanese-American boy as he learns things his family cannot teach him: how to skate, how to flirt and how to navigate the awkward first steps into adolescence. Didi blends warm humour and quiet observation to create a vivid portrait of youth and identity.

Attend a screening to experience Didi with fellow film lovers and to take part in the informal atmosphere that makes Maidstone Film Society special. The society is ideal for anyone who enjoys thoughtful storytelling, international cinema and community screenings. Check the society programme for screening dates and booking information, and join other cinephiles in celebrating cinema from home and abroad.
