Sixteen Legs + Director Q&A

Director
Niall Doran, Justin Smith
Certificate
TBA
Running Time
104 mins

Billed as “a nature documentary like no other” and “a real-life Charlotte’s Web“, this fascinating creepy-crawlyfest takes us into one of the planet’s last wildernesses, where there’s a subterranean world of giant prehistoric spiders looking for love in the dark. Sweet, huh? It also features guest appearances by Neil Gaiman, Stephen Fry and Mark Gatiss.

This is the film’s UK premiere, presented by Wildscreen and the University of Bristol’s Centre for Environmental Humanities at the University’s Priory Road Lecture Theatre. Writer/producer/co-director Niall Doran will be present for a Q&A after the screening. It’s a ‘pay what you can’ event, with all proceeds going to the Bookend Trust (a not-for-profit organisation working to engage young people in environmental issues).
