BIMA continues smARTfilm series
Published 11:50 am Friday, June 19, 2015
The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art will continue its first-ever smARTfilms Family Film Festival through Sunday, June 21 — screening fun, artful and inspiring movies appropriate for all ages.
Each film screens twice a day in the museum auditorium, once at 10:30 a.m. and once again at 1:30 p.m.
The weekend schedule is:
Friday, June 19: “The Secret Garden” (rated G).
In this adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic fairy tale, Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is an orphan sent to live with her uncle at his mansion that is full of secrets. She discovers a crippled cousin she never knew she had and a neglected garden she is determined to bring back to life.
Saturday, June 20: “Song of the Sea” (rated PG).
This lushly animated film by Tomm Moore threads the Irish mythology of the selkie, a child who turns into a white seal once she enters the sea, through the narrative fantasy of brother Ben and sister Saoirse.
Sunday, June 21: “Fantastic Journeys: Live Action Shorts” (Not rated, appropriate for ages 7 and up).
The kids in this collection of award-winning films aren’t afraid to strike out on their own in journeys small and grand. These girls and boys find their own ways through woods and run-down cities, bustling markets and the canals of Venice. Take a walk with them and feel a spark of inspiration as you see the world anew.
Tickets are $10 for each adult, which includes two free children tickets as well. Each additional child ticket is $3.
