Gables Art Cinema Debuts International Children’s Film Series



Fairy Tale Character's in Eleanor's Secret



Just when Summer was starting to get a bit boring and parents are desperately trying to find anything to keep our kids busy, the Gables Arts Cinema launches its very first children’s film series with a screening this past weekend of Eleanor’s Secret.

The film is a beautifully animated French film (dubbed in English) with a magical and wonderful message about the joys of reading. My two nieces Vanessa and Valerie were happy to join me and truly enjoyed the film and free popcorn and drinks for the opening day festivities.

The series continues July 22-24 with The Secret of Kells, a great film combines magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology and amazing animated drawing.  It tells the story of a young boy's adventures in an enchanted forest. The series ends with the Best of New York International Children's Film Festival, a collection of the top animation, live action and experimental film for kids from around the world and runs from July 29-31.

Midge Krams, Chair of the Children’s Program Committee for the Gables Arts Cinema told me that she was extremely pleased with the great turnout. She felt like a little girl waiting for guests to arrive at her birthday party and they did indeed. She also stated that the Gables Art Cinema plans to continue screening films for children and young adults throughout the year.

As a parent, I am happy that we have another film option in our community for our children versus the traditional IMAX 3D action packed over the top animation in mainstream cinemas today.  Kudos to the Gables Arts Cinema!

The Secret of the Kells - Friday, July 22 at 11 a.m.; Saturday, July 23 at 11 a.m.; Sunday, July 23 at 12:30 p.m.
