Storm Boy
10:00 am | 109m | Ages 8+
When Michael Kingley (played by Geoffrey Rush) unearths images from his past, he remembers his long-forgotten childhood on an isolated coastline. He recounts how, as a boy, he rescued and raised an extraordinary orphaned pelican, Mr. Percival. Based on the beloved Australian children's book, Storm Boy tells a timeless story of unusual and unconditional friendship.
Liyana
1:00 PM | 77m | Ages 10+
A picture book come to life! Liyana illuminates the fictional story created by five children in the Kingdom of Eswatini in Swaziland. They shape their individual trauma into an original fable about a girl named Liyana who embarks on a perilous quest to save her two younger brothers. Liyana becomes a symbol of their collective experience, an icon of resilience. A worldwide success, Liyana is a remarkable and unforgettable film
Tito and the Birds
4:00 PM | 73m | Ages 12+
Encounter a world gripped by an epidemic, a virus that paralyzes people with fear, shrinks them into blobs and eventually turns them into rocks. Middle school whiz kid Tito and his friend Rosa set out to find a cure, inspired by Tito's father's strength and courage. An absolute thrill ride of a film and a joy to watch, Tito and the Birds is a fantastic animated flight of fancy!
