Tito and the Birds
My First Film Fest
November 9 - 11, 2018
An intrepid 10-year-old boy sets out to save his city from a pandemic of (literally) paralyzing fear in this dazzling animated adventure, a child’s-eye parable for our anxiety-ridden times.
Note: This screening will take place at the Francesca Beale Theater at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
Q&A with director Gustavo Steinberg
As a pandemic of (literally) paralyzing mass hysteria sweeps over his city—fueled by fear-mongering corporations, TV news, and politicians—one brave boy, 10-year-old Tito, sets out to stop the madness.

A Shout Factory release. Ages 11 and up
