8^th O Providence Children’s Film Festival começa na sexta-feira, 17 de fevereiro, no Metcalf Auditorium do RISD Museum. Este evento especial com ingresso será iniciado às 17h30, com deliciosos petiscos e bebidas fornecidos pela Delsie Catering & Events, Campus Fine Wines e Munroe Dairy. Após a recepção, os convidados assistirão a uma exibição de 30 minutos de Shorts Curtos e Doces, filmes curtas selecionados pelo PCFF para crianças de todas as idades.

Às 19h30, assista ao filme de stop-motion em argila, lindamente criado, Minha Vida de Abobrinha (Oscar e Indicado ao Globo de Ouro de Melhor Animação. Esta terna narrativa (sugerida para maiores de 13 anos) sobre crianças que vivem em um orfanato devido a circunstâncias de vida devastadoras aborda questões difíceis com sutileza e delicadeza, sem ser condescendente com o público mais jovem. O estilo de animação limpo e simples contrasta maravilhosamente com o difícil assunto, e os rostos expressivos dos personagens nos dão esperança pela inocência e resiliência das crianças. Minha Vida de Abobrinha é autêntico, empático e, por fim, edificante.

Nota: Uma segunda triagem de Minha Vida de Abobrinha, com patrocínio da Media Smart Libraries, acontecerá durante o Festival no sábado, 25 de fevereiro, às 16h15 no RISD Auditorium, 17 Canal Walk (em frente ao RISD Museum), Providence.

As Media Smart Libraries, em parceria com a PCFF, apoiam eventos de programação pública que enfatizam o uso de filmes e textos de mídia para promover a alfabetização expandida no século XXI. A exibição deste Festival de Minha vida como abobrinha, espera aumentar a conscientização de que as bibliotecas são agentes de mudança fundamentais no avanço da literacia midiática digital de crianças, adolescentes e famílias em suas comunidades.
