SCREENING SATURDAY JUNE 6th, SATURDAY JUNE 27th, WEDNESDAY JULY 8th and SUNDAY JULY 30th

To tie in with My Father’s Dragon exhibition at The Ark, we have four screenings of this beautiful animation from Kilkenny’s Cartoon Saloon. Directed by Nora Twomey, this colourful and sensitive adventure tells the story of a young boy, Elmer, who learns from a talking cat that a dragon on mysterious Wild land might solve their problems if he can rescue it from the magical island creatures. An enchanting film, filled with gorgeous detail which can be seen in the exhibition just next door at The Ark.
