Family Flicks Film Series: Journey to the Center of the Earth
- This is a past program
Recommended for ages 9+*
Few films provide the multigenerational appeal delivered by this 1959 landmark. Its in-camera special effects are a lesson for film students today. For those who were mesmerized by the original story, the film is a perfect way to share it with children. Catalyzed by a mysterious message from a missing explorer, a geologist and his motley team embark on a scientific expedition into the depths of the earth. Expect giant lizards, underground oceans, and lost cities. (1959, Dir. Henry Levin, DCP, color, 132 min.)
*All ages are welcome. Feel free to take a break with infants and toddlers in the theater lobby.
