The films are screened for free every Thursday throughout April. Wang said the intent is to amplify missions of the different conservation organizations in the community who partner with the Park City Film Series. Wang also hopes the screenings will engage the community in diverse dialog concerning conservation issues. “This is the second year we’ve C-5 S O F T C E L I H U A S W A S S T I C H Luc Jacquet/Courtesy of Music Box Films Glaciologist Claude Lorius, who was the first person to introduce the ice-core method to measure climate change, takes a contemplative moment in Luc Jarquet’s documentary “Antarctica: Ice and Sky,” which will be screened by the Park City Film Series on April 27. done an Earth Month Film Series and we really try to program films that are inspiring,” Wang said. “While we don’t want to candy-coat the issues, we know that sometimes environmental films can be doom and gloom. “But there are exciting things that are happening around the world and in our own community that we want to celebrate and connect peo- ple to in a powerful way.” The film series kicked off on April 6 with Sue Williams’ “Death By Design,” which examined the underbelly of the electronics industry and reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs. The film was screened in partnership with Recycle Utah, FiReFilms and the Thin want because she is a linguist,” Wang said. “The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography. If you like science fiction films, it will just suck you in and bend your mind.” • Thursday, April 13: “The Eagle Huntress,” by Otto Bell, rated G This film is about a 13-year-old Kazakh girl named Aisholpan, who is in training by her father to become the first female eagle huntress, Wang said. “It’s amazing because in the 12 generations of her family there have been no women who were eagle hunters,” she said. The Park City Film Series screened “The Eagle Huntress” as part of its regular weekend screenings in December. “It’s a story about the father and daughter connection and how proud he is of his daughter and what she’s able to accomplish,” Wang said. “It came to Sundance a couple of years ago and it was at Telluride. We wanted to bring it back so everyone will get a chance to see it on the big screen.” • Friday, April 14: “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial,” by Steven Spielberg, rated PG “During the Movies for Kids series, we want to bring back a classic film and ‘E.T.’ is our classic film,” Wang said. “It really needs no introduction, but it’s about Elliot and an alien creature who becomes his friend. We’re hoping this will also bring parents in to relive the nostalgia from their childhoods and share that with their children.” Wang said she knows adults will enjoy the films because the Park City Film Series tries to program films that are not the usual suspects. “We want to show children’s films that have great stories and fit the Park City Film Series’ criteria regarding high-quality cinema,” she said. Park City Film Series Free Movies for Kids will be screened at 3 p.m. from Monday, April 10, to Friday, April 14, at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium, 1255 Park Ave. For information, visit www.parkcityfilmseries.com.
