Made In Sussex: Rumpelstiltskin

Part of Made in Sussex Film Festival

Home Coming Screening

This programme will also include a short film Albert directed by Joshua G. R. Fletcher

Filmed at Lewes's iconic Anne of Cleves House, Rumpelstiltskin is a haunting tale that brings back the scariest villain from our collective childhoods—only darker, bloodier, and nastier this time. When a Miller attempts to win the King's favour by promising his daughter can spin straw into gold, she turns to a demonic imp for help.

She completes the impossible task, but the King's greed knows no bounds and he demands more. Desperate, she promises the imp her firstborn child in return for his continued aid. But when the time comes to honour her bargain, dark forces collide as the imp strikes a deal with the devil himself.
