The Secret of Kells (PG)

Swindon Film Festival 2011

THE SECRET OF KELLS

Ireland - 2009 - English - Family Animation/Adventure

This hand-drawn, water-coloured animation is a visual feast and a cracking yarn!

Magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology come together to tell the story of Brendan, a novice at a monastery in a remote part of medieval Ireland.

One day a strange monk arrives from a distant land, carrying with him an unfinished illustrated book that he has rescued from Viking raiders.

To help complete the book, Brendan must overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide.

“ Engaging, beautifully animated drama that plays like a children's storybook come to life…” (ViewLondon)
