ELSTREE 1976

Friday, May 6 - Thursday, May 12, 2016

ELSTREE 1976 explores the lives of the actors and extras behind one of the most celebrated franchises in cinematic history, which spans from George Lucas’ original A New Hope to J.J. Abrams’ recent record-breaking blockbuster The Force Awakens.

From the man behind film’s most iconic villain, to the actor whose character was completely cut from the final film, the documentary delves into the eccentric community these individuals have formed and how the Star Wars franchise continues to impact their lives decades later.
