Holmfirth Film Festival presents, BADLANDS
Celebrate the release of the Festival brochure with a free screening.
Some critics regard this as the finest directorial debut since Citizen Kane. This poetic, gorgeous looking but disturbing road movie is based on the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree of the late fifties. Re-released and remastered, with a brilliant soundtrack, it stars Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek in their first film, and cult actor Warren Oates.
The film and brochure will be introduced by the Festival Director.

Holmfirth Civic Hall, Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth, HD9 3AS.
