Join us for ***Quest for Fire*** (La guerre du feu) 1981, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, a prehistoric adventure film set 80,000 years ago. It follows a small tribe that loses its only source of fire—a precious resource they cannot create themselves.

Three members of the tribe, played by Everett McGill, Ron Perlman, and Nameer El-Kadi, embark on a perilous journey to find a new flame. Along the way, they encounter rival tribes, wild animals, and ultimately a more advanced group of humans who introduce them to fire-making techniques and new forms of communication. The story combines survival themes with anthropological insights, depicting early human language, social structures, and tools.

The film is notable for its commitment to authenticity: the actors trained in primitive survival skills, and linguist Anthony Burgess created a unique language for the characters. Quest for Fire won several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Makeup and two César Awards (France's equivalent to the Oscars) for Best Director and Best Film Editing. Its innovative approach and dedication to realism have made it a cult classic and a reference point for depictions of early human history in film.

As usual we will socialise enjoy snacks and beverages before settling down to watch the movie. A quiz at the end will determine who knows the most about the movie.
