Family Saturday Screenings

Director Jean-Albert Lièvre’s documentary follows the plight of a beached humpback whale and weaves in interviews with myriad experts and underwater footage of whales in their natural environment. A poetic homage to Heathcote Williams’ book Whale Nation and a rallying cry, urging viewers to consider the effects of their actions.

Albert Lamorisse’s classic follows a young boy who finds, and is soon followed around Paris, by a playful balloon, with a mind of its own, who gets him into all kinds of adventures.   

As seen at the 2024 Annecy and Cannes Film Festivals, this beautifully animated family film by French auteur Jean-François Laguionie tells the story of an adopted boy and his stepfather in the 1950s, who bond over a shared interest in history and boating.
