Announcing the first of three films to be screening at Art House Cinema and Pub as part of our terrific trilogy, VISIONARY VIBES: 3 PILLARS OF PSYCHEDELIC ANIMATION! August 31 and September 1st, we will be having TWO screenings of French director René Laloux's breathtaking science fiction fantasy film, FANTASTIC PLANET! Just over 50 years old, FANTASTIC PLANET has remained an uncontested gem in the realm of animation for more than half a century, and it is plain to see why! Armed with an incredibly unique art style, animation process, and unforgettable score, Laloux concocts a mesmerizing allegory for peace, welfare, and coexistence! On the planet Ygam, the massive blue humanoids known as Draags lead lives of technological and spiritual advancement. The Oms, comparatively miniscule human descendants of Terra, are viewed by the Draags as insignificant animals. Captive Oms are used as pets to entertain Draag children, but the feral Oms hiding within the deadly Ygam wilderness live a multigenerational fight for survival as they attempt to plot a revolution against the Draags who seek to exterminate them! Cost: $9
