Join us at Wexner center



At the Wexner Center this weekend is the Columbus Internation Children's Film Festival. It actually will be wrapping up Sunday but at 2:30pm is a free ice cream social featuring Jeni's Ice Cream followed by a movie called Kirikou and the Wild Beasts. This film (the second film of Kirkou’s adventures to date) will show Columbus audiences why children have fallen in love with the ingenious and brave child. The four short stories that make up Kirikou and the Wild Beasts are based on West African folktales, and the evocative simplicity and directness of the drawn images match the style of the narration and dialogue. Also important to the film’s success and beauty is the infectious soundtrack by some of Africa’s best known musicians: Youssou N’Dour from Senegal, Rokia Traoré from Mali, and Manu Dibango from Cameroon. (72 mins., 35mm)
