Blackout
J. Williams-Wood/2013/7 min/People & Cultures, Health, Environmental Advocacy
FILM DESCRIPTION: Narrated by Oscar-nominee Stanley Tucci, the almost-luminously animated Blackout focuses on a young boy and his family in a city apartment on a hot summer night.
Hopper’s Day
Jingqi Zhang/2021/5 min/Water, Wildlife
FILM DESCRIPTION: Water is a precious resource in an abandoned quarry, where a small grasshopper competes for access with an army of ants while trying to avoid a hungry crow and lizard. The water Hopper wants is not just a selfish desire, but for a glorious garden oasis hidden in an old boot.
Recommended for ages 3 to 8+.
