For this year’s Dear Future festival: Wild Magic, see Jim Henson’s adored family fantasy, plus join us to get into the wild spirit with a pre-film family crafting activity before the film starts.
Director: Frank Oz & Jim Henson
93 mins / 1982 / USA
Presented by Dear Future, a live cinema organisation. Dear Future explores ways of thinking into the future by bringing together film, conversation and creativity.
Starring great performances from Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark, when their son starts acting strangely, a couple unwittingly allow sinister forces into their home, awakening a long-dormant ancient evil rooted deep in the countryside.
Another planet, another time. One thousand years ago, the mysterious Dark Crystal was damaged by one of the Urskeks and an age of chaos began. The evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards, the Skeksis, gnomish dragons rule their fantastic planet with an iron claw. Meanwhile, orphan Jen, raised in solitude by a race of peace-loving wizards called the Mystics, embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of the Dark Crystal which gives the Skeksis their power and restore the balance of the universe.
