The award-winning first feature from the director of A Cat in Paris and Mia and the Migoo is a delicate and charming tale of an old sea captain who unwittingly becomes a modern day Noah when a torrential flood washes over the planet and the animals from the local zoo escape into his floating house. But all is not peaceful aboard the comically tower-shaped houseboat, and when a code of strict vegetarianism is imposed to protect the gentler animals, their carnivorous shipmates plot mutiny. Raining Cats and Frogs won prizes at Berlin and Ottawa and has been showcased at the world's top festivals.

NEW YORK PREMIERE

Ever wonder where you go when you sleep? In this beautifully animated stop-motion film, six-year-old Milo finds himself transformed into an animated character and swept into Dreamland, a secret nocturnal world of enchantment and adventure. There he sets sail in a magic car-boat through deliciously bizarre dreamscapes (full of giant chocolate bunnies, birthday cake women, cotton clouds, and paper mache mountains) on a mission to upend the schemes of the nefarious Habumar, creator of nightmares, who has threatened children everywhere by stealing the Sand of Dreams.

Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams is a sumptuously handcrafted film perfect for youngest audiences, with playfully inventive characters immersed in brilliantly colorful landscapes. The film will be shown in English, but you can check out the original German theatrical trailer by clicking here.

THE RACE

Sat & Sun, Aug 27 & 28, 11:00am - IFC Center

Recommended ages 6 to adult.

Like Billy Elliott with go-karts, The Race is an Irish charmer about a young protagonist challenging gender stereotypes and overcoming family hardships to fulfill her dreams. When Mary is not helping out on the family farm, she's speeding around in her handmade go-kart, red hair flying as she careens recklessly down the narrow roads that crisscross the lush, verdant hills of rural Ireland. Dreaming of becoming a race car driver, she sneaks into the boys' changing room and signs up for the community's annual race, which is traditionally only for boys. As the only girl in the competition, she faces ridicule and scorn from all sides. But Mary doesn't let the endless teasing intimidate her as she sets her sights on becoming the best racer in town.
