Opening Night ~ ‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’

Directed by Chiwetel Ejlofor
Malawi, 2018
In English and Chichewa with English subtitles

Written, directed, and co-starring Oscar-nominated Chiwetel Ejiofor, this inspiring true-to-life film follows 13-year-old William Kamkwamba, who is thrown out of the school he loves when his family can no longer afford the fees.

Friday, February 22 at 5:30pm
SVA Theatre in Chelsea, Manhattan
East Coast Premiere

From $15

Spotlight ~ ‘Pachamama’

Directed by Juan Antin
Canada, 2018
In English

Tepulpai’s your average kid—headstrong and a bit naughty. It may seem unusual that he has a pet armadillo and wants to be a shaman, but not if you live in the ancient Peruvian Andes like he and his wise friend Naïra do.

The two embark on a young heroes’ quest to locate their community’s stolen treasure, and must confront the Inca and newly arrived Spanish to retain their indigenous ways. With a vibrantly-hued palette and Pre-Columbian soundtrack of ancient flutes and condor wings, Pachamama exuberantly celebrates nature, culture, and community.
