(1953, dir. Morris Engel, 80 mins., NR)

Sublime and poignant, this low-budget, black-and-white, Oscar-nominated gem penetrates to the heart of childhood wonderment, fear and innocence. Seven-year-old Joey (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into running away from home to the Coney Island beach and boardwalk. With hand-held cameras, staccato editing, and minimal dialogue Little Fugitive is a pioneering independent film and a slice of Americana that’s great for multi-age audiences.

Film shown in 35 mm.

Members $4 / Public $8 / College Students $6 / 17 and under Free
