The Magic Faraway Tree with Ben Gregor and Simon Farnaby Picturehouse

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to The Magic Faraway Tree filmmakers, director Ben Gregor and writer Simon Farnaby, about their new film. The Magic Faraway Tree follows Polly (Claire Foy), Tim (Andrew Garfield) and their three children - a modern family forced to relocate to the remote English countryside. As they adapt to their new lives, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface (Nonso Anozie), Silky (Nicola Coughlan), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning) and Saucepan Man (Dustin Demri-Burns). At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.
