Beasts of the Southern Wild Saturday, September 7 @ 2 p.m. Olympic Room, Main Library 1102Tacoma Avenue South downtown Tacoma Discussion follows A spellbinding adventure set just past the known edges of the American Bayou, _Beasts of the Southern Wild_ follows a girl named Hushpuppy as she takes on rising waters, a sinking village, changing times, an army of prehistoric creatures and an unraveling universe that she bravely tries to stitch back together through the sheer force of spirit and resilience.   The film, shot on location in the coastal parishes of Louisiana with local non-actors in the lead roles, came to the Sundance Film Festival as a hand-made, fiercely imaginative underdog and left a runaway hit and winner of the coveted _Grand Jury Prize_ as well as the _Excellence in Cinematography Award_.  PRESENTED IN COOPERATION WITH SUNDANCE INSTITUTE'S FILM FORWARD PROGRAM AND THE TACOMA ARTS COMMISSION.
