- Stay for a special free screening of short films with a wild side: Gene Deitch’s Where the Wild Things Are (1973) brings Maurice Sendak’s beloved book to life; Lotte Reiniger’s Mary’s Birthday (1951) tells how flowers saved the day; and Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax (1972) reminds us to “speak for the trees.” (Total running time: 45 mins.)
