WEDNESDAY: A Tribute to Maurice Sendak
Hey did you hear there’s a movie coming out based on Maurice Sendak’s book Where the Wild Things Are? Yeah, I had no idea either. Luckily The Cinefamily on Fairfax, along with documentarian Lance Bangs, will be bringing us up to date with a tribute to Maurice Sendak featuring “original animated adaptations (on 16mm!) of Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen, along with new short films made by Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze while the new live action adaptation of Wild Things was in production.”
Wednesday, September 30th, 8 & 10:30pm The Silent Movie Theater 611 N. Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Lance Bangs will be in attendance for the 8pm show!
More from The Cinefamily:
“Jonze had been friends with Maurice Sendak for more than five years before he began working on his feature film, and these new short films capture a sometimes melancholy but always wickedly funny Sendak as he reflects on his Depression-era childhood in the Brooklyn shtetl, a joyous day at the World’s Fair, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, his books “In The Night Kitchen” and “Higgledy Piggledy Pop!”, his two beloved Hermans (Melville, and his German shepherd namesake), and a long-buried secret.”
