JSMA’s outdoor film program returns this summer with The Boy and the World (2013, 80 minutes). Director Alê Abreu’s second animated feature — one of this year’s Academy Award nominations — is a bold and imaginative parable of hope in a world filled with human injustice. The story focuses on Cuca, a boy who goes in search of his missing dad. The young boy’s journey unfolds like a tapestry, with the animation taking on greater complexity and variety as his small world expands. The wordless narrative is accompanied throughout by a rich soundscape of pan-flute, samba, and Brazilian hip-hop. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
The JSMA's Outdoor Family Film is sponsored by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and UO Summer Session.
