Film Screening:

Where the Wild Things Are (2009), dir. Spike Jonze

September 15 | 5 PM | Dome Theatre

Join us for a screening of Where the Wild Things Are (2009), directed by Spike Jonze. Based on Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book of the same name, the film centers on a lonely young boy named Max who sails away to an island inhabited by creatures known as the "Wild Things," who declare Max their king.

The screening will open with a one-minute animation by Marcel Dzama, titled On a wild set (2007), specially created for Jonze while Where the Wild Things Are was in production.

This screening will be preceded by a mask-making workshop for accompanied children aged 5 to 12, from 3-4:30 PM. To register for the workshop, CLICK HERE.

This program is organized in conjunction with Ghosts of Canoe Lake: New Work by Marcel Dzama, on view at Contemporary Calgary until October 27, 2024.
