Brendan and the Book of Kells (The Secret of Kells)
In anticipation of St Patrick's Day we delved into Irish history, folklore and legends in this gloriously animated film.
12-year-old Brendan lives with his uncle, Abbott Cellach, among the monks who are under constant threat from the Vikings. When Brother Aidan, a master illustrator arrives, Brendan learns of his own great talents.
Brendan and the Book of Kells combines a variety of animation styles to perfectly capture the period and the artistic beauty of illustrated manuscripts.
A popular choice at film festivals across the world, this film won the audience award at the 2009 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
