A timeless  children’s classic freshly restored to present it in the best possible picture quality. The film is directed by Albert Lamorisse, a man described by the New York Times as “...a remarkable artist: one of the cinema’s best poets and a fearless explorer of the scary and exhilarating outbacks of the imagination.”
 
The Red Balloon (Le Ballon Rouge) follows the relationship between a little boy and a red balloon with a mind of its own that he befriends on the Parisian streets. Widely recognised as one of the most important films in children’s cinema, this 1956 classic is the only dialogue-free film to win an Oscar for Best Screenplay.
