The children’s classic and Carnegie shortlisted novel, The Amazing Mr Blunden is back!
Released as a Sky TV movie this Christmas, starring Mark Gatiss – a ghost story with a time-travelling twist.
We have two tickets up for grabs to attend the screening at the BFI on the 29th of November. As well as that, there will be a Q&A with writer-director-actor Mark Gatiss and actors Tamsin Greig and Simon Callow, hosted by Mark Kermode.
This spooky and magical adventure is based on the 1972 film of the same name, and Antonia Barber’s book The Amazing Mr Blunden. London teenagers Jamie and Lucy join their mum who has become caretaker of an old country house – one that’s said to be haunted. Sure enough, within its neglected grounds they have an encounter with a pair of Regency children, who are not quite what they seem.
Arrive at: 5.45pm with the screening starting at 6.15pm
Duration: 90mins
Location: NFT1 at BFI London.
