BRATTLEBORO — Latchis Arts is launching a “Movies for Kids” series on Sunday mornings in November.
Kids, parents, “and everyone who is a kid at heart,” are invited to showings of movies at the Latchis on Sundays at 11 a.m., in November, according to a news release. Admission is by donation.
Movies for Kids will have a monthly theme and offer both contemporary and older films that fit that theme. The theme for the first month is “November Has Secrets.” The series starts with “The Secret Garden” on Nov. 6, followed by “The Secret of Kells” on Nov. 13, “The Secret of Roan Inish” on Nov. 20, and “The Secret of Nimh” on Nov. 27.
“The goal for this series is to offer films for kids that their parents will be interested in as well. For November, we begin with four films that hold secrets in their own unique way. There is magic in landscape, history and music and culture, containers for mystery, belief and hope, and strong child performances along with beautifully animated scenes,” said Latchis Arts Board Member Jonathan Schwartz, who curated the series.
Plans are to continue the series - with a different theme each month - in the winter and spring.
