12:00 P to 5:00 P
Enjoy free admission to an afternoon of family activities presented by the Northwest Film Center. This blockbuster event will reel in the family fun with do-it-yourself animation, interactive play spaces, improvisational theater games, kid-friendly food, and film screenings. Northwest Film Center faculty will teach kids of all ages the principles of motion using zoetropes and thaumatropes, which spin and whirl simple drawings into animated moving images. Visitors can also make their own flipbook, play with digitally projected butterflies, and help create the soundtrack for a 1960s Japanese monster movie, live on stage, with the group Filmusik.
Museum admission on March 14 and participation in Museum Family Day is free for all visitors.
