This wondrous film marks the premiere of the Lowell Film Collaborative’s “Film and the Arts” Series presented in partnership with the Arts League of Lowell (ALL). Don’t miss this animated epic by Tomm Moore, award-winning director and co-founder of the Cartoon Salon, that sweeps audiences away on a mystical journey that combines magic, fantasy, and Celtic mythology!
Young Brendan lives in a remote medieval outpost under siege from barbarian raids. But a new life of adventure beckons when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying an ancient but unfinished book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him along the way. But with the barbarians closing in, will Brendan’s determination and artistic vision illuminate the darkness and show that enlightenment is the best fortification against evil?
