MOVIES: Saturday, Dec. 12 at 5 PM: a special screening of Little Fugitive. When a seven-year-old boy (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into believing
he killed his older brother, he gathers his meager possessions and
flees to New York’s nether wonderland: Coney Island. Upon and beneath
the crowded boardwalk, Joey experiences a day and night filled with
adventures and mysteries, resulting in a film that is refreshingly
spontaneous and thoroughly delightful. Also Morris Engel: The Independent, a documentary by Mary Engel about her father, Morris Engel, director of Little Fugitive. Mary Engel will introduce.
