Animation Is Art: Little Amélie or the Character of Rain

This event features an animated film called "Little Amélie or the Character of Rain," a family-friendly story about a Belgian girl named Amélie living in Japan. The film follows her life starting from her third birthday, a pivotal moment that sets off a series of experiences that help shape how she sees the world. The movie runs just over an hour and is rated PG, making it appropriate for most family viewing. After the film wraps up, there's a chance to stick around for a lecture and discussion led by Dr. Mina Kaneko, giving families a chance to dig deeper into what they've watched. Tickets are reasonably priced at $12 for general admission, with discounted rates of $7 for museum members and students. This event is hosted at an NCSU cinema location rather than the main museum campus, so be sure to plan accordingly for parking and directions.
