Hammer Kids: Family Flicks Film Series: Watership Down March 21, 2010

The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer Museum have teamed up for a matinee screening series of new and classic family-friendly films from around the world.

WATERSHIP DOWN
Appropriate for ages 11+
When one among them receives premonitions of apocalyptic doom, a warren of rabbits sets off on an epic journey, fraught with peril, to find a safe haven and freedom. Director Martin Rosen brings Richard Adams’ classic, allegorical children’s novel to the big screen with rich, impressionistic animation without dampening the story’s still potent social and political subtexts. (1978, 35mm, 92 min. DIR/SCR: Martin Rosen. CAST: John Hurt, Richard Briers, Michael Graham Cox.)
