The Fabelmans
Acclaimed family drama by Steven Spielberg, partly based on his family history, about little Sammy Fabelman who discovers the magic of film and emerges as a filmmaker.
Little Sammy Fabelman grows up in Arizona in the early years after the end of World War II. He falls in love with film after his parents take him to see THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Armed with a camera, Sammy begins making his own films at home, much to the delight of his supportive mother. A disturbed family dynamic eventually leads to tensions in his family that seep into Sammy's creations.
Steven Spielberg (JAWS, E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST, THE POST) is one of the most popular directors in film history. In THE FABELMANS, Spielberg digs into his own memoirs, sharing experiences that ultimately made him one of the film industry’s most beloved and successful filmmakers. His film is an ode to the magic of movies that help us see the truth about each other and ourselves. Backed by a star-studded cast consisting of Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Seth Rogen, Spielberg proves that he will probably never lose his magical gift.
