AFF Presents The Last Mimzy
This Sunday, March 18th, the Austin Film Festival and 'Specially for Children will present a free sneak screening of New Line Cinema's family sci-fi film, The Last Mimzy. The screening (which will take place at the Regal Arbor Cinema as part of the AFF's Target Family Film Series) will help raise funds for a film-themed infusion room for teenagers with cancer and blood disorders at the Children's Ambulatory Blood and Cancer Center.
Based on the short story by Lewis Padgett (the pseudonym of husband-and-wife writing team Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore), The Last Mimzy follows the adventures of two children who discover a mysterious box of toys and subsequently begin to develop strange abilities. The screening will be introduced by screenwriter and Austin Film Festival regular James V. Hart (Hook, Dracula, Sahara).
The screening is free, and you can request tickets by emailing rsvp@austinfilmfestival.com. Donations will be accepted at the theater, but you can also donate online by visiting the AFF website. Round up the kids and come out to support this worthwhile cause.
