The legendary Greek hero leads a team of intrepid adventurers in a perilous quest for the Golden Fleece.
Their voyage is fraught with battles against harpies, a giant bronze Talos, a hydra, and an animated skeleton army, all brought to life by the special effects wizardry of Ray Harryhausen.
Every film is preceded by a short FREE workshop. In this session, we'll be exploring the magic of early cinema effects and making a thaumatrope (an optical illusion toy).
