From Book to Film 2025: Labyrinth (1986) 4K Restoration

Gateway Film Foundation is excited to announce the return of From Book to Film for its 15th year with fifteen beloved family films. Admission is free with your library card!

This annual celebration of storytelling on screen brings literary favorites to life with a lineup for all-ages—including many presented in stunning 4K restorations. This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Larry and Donna James and the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

Directed by the visionary Jim Henson and executive produced by George Lucas, Labyrinth (1986) is a stirring fairy tale and wonder of puppetry. Starring the legendary David Bowie, the fantastic, musical adventure helped define a generation.

Frustrated with babysitting on yet another weekend night, Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), a teenager with an active imagination, summons the Goblins to take her baby stepbrother away. When her fantasy comes true, a distraught Sarah must enter a maze of illusion to bring Toby back from a kingdom inhabited by mystical creatures and governed by the wicked Goblin King (Bowie).
