News Release
The College of Central Florida Ira Holmes International Film Series will feature the classic film “Fantastic Planet” on Tuesday, Oct. 31, along with a Halloween costume contest.
Nothing else has ever looked or felt like director René Laloux’s animated marvel “Fantastic Planet,” a counter culture classic and visually inventive work of science fiction. The film is set on a distant planet called Ygam, where enslaved humans (Oms) are the playthings of giant blue native inhabitants (Draags). The 1973 French film is 72 minutes and is rated PG.
A screening will begin at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., and is free to all museum and film series members; nonmembers pay museum admission. A second screening will begin at 7 p.m. at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110. The screening is free and guests who attend in a Sci-Fi inspired Halloween costume will be entered to win a prize. Refreshments and giveaways will be provided by the CF Student Activities Board.
