Join us for a special screening of Animal Farm (1954), the landmark animated adaptation of George Orwell’s classic political allegory. Directed by John Halas and Joy Batchelor, the film was the first British animated feature and remains a striking exploration of power, propaganda, and resistance.
After the screening, enjoy a Q&A with Vivien Halas, daughter of the film’s co-director, and Jez Stewart, curator at the BFI National Archive, as they discuss the film’s production, legacy, and enduring relevance.
This event offers a rare insight into a pioneering work of animation and its place in British cultural history.
Screening from a 35mm print.
