"Beasts of the Southern Wild" Film Screening

Presented by Macon Film Guild at Douglass Theatre

"Beasts of the Southern Wild" (USA, Drama/Fantasy, 93 minutes, Rated PG-13 for thematic material including child imperilment, some disturbing images, language and brief sensuality) Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to repair the structure of her world in order to save her ailing father and sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to survive unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions. “Sometimes miraculous films come into being …blindsiding you with creative genius. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" is one of the year’s best films.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.
