Fiver knows it, feels it with a certainty he cannot explain, but few will listen. So he and his brother Hazel lead a small band of rabbits out into the unknown, crossing rivers, roads and open country in search of somewhere safe to begin again.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Based on Richard Adams’ beloved novel, <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Watership Down<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> remains one of British animation’s most singular achievements: a hand-drawn epic that treats its animal characters, and the world they inhabit, with total seriousness. Its landscapes are pastoral and perilous; its vision of nature is beautiful, unsentimental and sometimes terrifying. For many, it is remembered as a childhood rite of passage. Seen again, it feels just as alive to questions of home, exile, leadership, violence and survival.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Beautiful, brutal and newly restored in 4K, this is a landmark film whose impact has never really faded.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Director: Martin Rosen | Country: UK | Year: 1978 | Language: English | Running Time: 92 mins | Rating: BBFC PG <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This event is part of the 4th Montrose LandxSea Film Festival, Scotland’s environmental film festival: a weekend of films, conversations and special events exploring climate, nature, place and our changing world.
