As the Earth wrestles with its agonising birth, the peoples of this barren and desolate world struggle to survive. Driven by animal instinct they compete against the harsh conditions, their giant predators, and warring tribes. When two people from opposing clans fall in love (RAQUEL WELCH and JOHN RICHARDSON), existing conventions are shattered forever as each tribe struggles for supremacy and Man embarks on his tortuous voyage of civilisation.

Screening in celebration of stop-motion animation this Hammer Studios classic film features the ground breaking animation of Ray Harryhausen.

Now 60 years old, One Million Years B.C. remains a landmark of the time when stop-motion ruled the Earth – years before the advent of CGI.

This screening will be preceded by a Harryhausen inspired short animation ‘Battle of the Giants’ by Dylan, a young animator who has been learning the craft with Ashley Thorpe and Exeter Phoenix.
