The Dark Crystal

Presented by Filmbank
Pay What You Can
Hyde Park Picture House
Two puppets of elf-like characters with long hair, in earthy, fantastical clothing and holding a translucent crystal.

To celebrate Yorkshire Day, we’re screening Jim Henson’s classic 1982 film The Dark Crystal, which used many of our county’s luscious landscapes as its filming locations.

On another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and so restore order to his world.

The Dark Crystal, a source of balance and truth in the universe, was shattered, dividing the world into two factions: the wicked Skeksis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the crystal must be healed, or darkness will reign forever.

It’s up to Jen, one of the last of his race, to fulfil the prophecy that a Gelfling will return the missing shard to the crystal and destroy the Skeksis’ evil empire.
