NEW YORK PREMIERE — Featuring a breakthrough performance from one adorable duck! Cathy's always known her dad was eccentric, so she's not entirely surprised when he gives her an egg for her birthday (though she got a cell phone from her mom). The duckling inside will think the first thing it sees is his mother, and even though she promises to watch it dutifully, it's Cathy's friend, Margaux, who is there when it hatches. While the friends both think Margaux will make an excellent caretaker, her parents see the wheelchair she's confined to as too great an obstacle, and send the duckling away. So the girls set out on their own to prove them wrong. Refreshingly matter-of-fact, the their ensuing search becomes not just for their web-footed friend, but also for friendship, independence, and belonging. The film is presented in French with English subtitles. Birds of Passage is bound to touch your heart and leave you feeling inspired!

NY PREMIERE - The New York International Children's Film Festival is proud to present April and the Extraordinary World for its New York premiere. The setting is Paris, 1941. A family of scientists is on the brink of uncovering a powerful longevity serum when they are suddenly abducted by a mysterious force, leaving their young daughter April behind. Ten years later and without any trained scientists, Paris is stuck in the Steam Age. April lives alone with her best friend, a talking cat named Darwin, carrying on her parents' research in secret. Soon she is mixed up in a far-reaching conspiracy and on the run from government agents. Whip-smart and determined, she continues her quest to find her parents and discover the truth behind their disappearance. Extraordinary, indeed, April's world is a steampunk paradise filled with cleverly outlandish inventions and gadgetry, designed by Jacques Tardi in the same simple but stunning style of his iconic graphic novels. From the producers of Pers

In The Time-Image, Deleuze writes: "Money is the reverse of all the images that cinema shows and edits on the obverse, so that films about money are already, if implicitly, films within the film or about the film." In order to approach the contemporary circulation of images and their economy, the talk will focus on close readings of selected filmic scenes from Bresson to The Sopranos, while also situating Deleuze's sentence in the long-term perspective of an archaeology of iconomy.
