This week presents:
The Storm
Director: Monica Kidd
2021 | 4 min
Physician/filmmaker Monica Kidd reflects on what it means to bring a baby into a world under pandemic lockdown, evoking memories of wild summer storms to amplify a sharply etched tale of disruption and rebirth.
WINTOPIA
Director: Mira Burt-Wintonick
2019 | 88 min
A box of tapes uncovered. A lifelong Utopian obsession. A daughter’s attempt to complete her father’s final film. Wintopia traces the enigmatic footsteps of renowned documentary filmmaker Peter Wintonick through the lens of his daughter, Mira, as she tries to decipher the map he has left behind. Reverberating with emotion and whimsy, the film guides us on a journey through possible worlds in pursuit of reconciliation, both between artist and family and between dreams and reality. Even for audiences unfamiliar with Peter’s work, the film is a touching story of grief, love and hope.
Limited seats available. To purchase your ticket, please contact Visitor Services at 757-8090.
Restrictions due to COVID 19 will be in place for everyone’s safety. Masks and proof of vaccination with ID required.
