film - the wonderfully innovative THE SECRET OF KELLS, featuring the
vocal talents of Brendan Gleeson (IN BRUGES, HARRY POTTER).
Adventure, action and danger await 12 year old Brendan who must fight
Vikings and a serpent god to find a crystal and complete the legendary
Book of Kells.
Brendan is hard at work with his uncle, Abbott Cellach and the other

and helper. But with the terrifying Viking hordes closing in, will Brendan
