Lenfest Kids: H2O presents
March of the Penguins
Dir. Luc Jacquet, 2005
35MM | France | ages 6+
At the end of each Antarctic summer, the emperor penguins of the South Pole journey to their traditional breeding grounds in a fascinating mating ritual that is captured in this documentary by intrepid filmmaker Luc Jacquet. The journey across frozen tundra proves to be the simplest part of the ritual, as after the egg is hatched, the female must delicately transfer it to the male and make her way back to the distant sea to nourish herself and bring back food to her newborn chick.
Lenfest Kids celebrates Columbia’s Year of Water with a series of aquatic-themed family films. Lenfest Kids: H2O explores the world’s oceans as a space of adventure, fantasy, wonder and mystery, featuring a diverse range of films spanning live-action and animation, classics and recent hits, from the US and abroad. All films will be screened at 11 am and 3 pm at Lenfest Center for the Arts.
