About

Presented in partnership with Fresh Perspectives, Fabrica’s young film programmers group.

A well-regarded cult-classic, Fantastic Planet is an size-shifting exploration of otherness and difference. A wacky and often disturbing re-understanding of what it means to be human.

Fantastic Planet (French: La Planète sauvage, Czech: Divoká planeta, lit. "The Wild Planet") is a 1973 experimental animated science fiction tale directed by René Laloux and written by Laloux and Roland Topor. The allegorical story, about humans living on a strange planet dominated by giant humanoid aliens who consider them animals, is based on the 1957 novel Oms en série by French writer Stefan Wul.

Fresh Perspectives selected Fantastic Planet in response to Fabrica’s autumn exhibition, Strange Relations by Carys Reilly and Simon Le Boggit.

“Fantastic Planet is a surreal, animated sci-fi fable of extraordinary beauty, cruelty, and strangeness... Aesthetically, the film is a colorful, dreamlike visual spectacle ” - Michael Barrett, Pop Matters

Doors & Bar open 7.30pm . Event starts 7.45pm
