CAF Presents: My Father's Dragon (PG)

Ireland, USA | 2022 | 99 mins | Dir. Nora Twomey

From five-time Academy Award®-nominated animation studio Cartoon Saloon (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers) and Academy Award®-nominated director Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner), comes an exquisite film inspired by the Newbery-honored children’s book from author Ruth Stiles Gannett. Struggling to cope after a move to the city with his mother, Elmer runs away in search of Wild Island and a young dragon who waits to be rescued. Elmer's adventures introduce him to ferocious beasts, a mysterious island and the friendship of a lifetime.

Director Nora Twomey will be joining us at 2pm in conversation with Joanna Quinn to take us behind the scenes of My Father's Dragon and her other award-winning work – more info here.
