Happy New Year, Gig Harbor Film Fans!
We are back with a very special Monday Movie Night, which we have dubbed “Hummingbird Night!” Join us Monday, January 26th at 6:30pm, for a screening of Every Little Thing preceded by the short film The Bird in My Backyard. Everyone in attendance at Galaxy Theatres Gig Harbor will be entered into a raffle for a Hummingbird-themed gift basket.
Full of joy and wonder, Every Little Thing offers some profound truths in a deceptively simple story. The documentary follows Terry Masear, the founder of Los Angeles Hummingbird Rescue, as she cares for injured hummingbirds. Witnessing the fragility and resilience of the tiny creatures, she experiences her own personal growth. Baby Hummingbirds, Cactus, and Wasabi captivate and will have audiencescelebrating their tiny victories and lamenting their tragedies. With breathtaking slow-motion photography and beautiful storytelling, the film serves as a reminder that in the smallest acts, and in the tiniest of creatures, we might find grace.
Before our feature film, we will screen The Bird in My Backyard, a favorite from last year’s festival. In an urban backyard on Canada’s West Coast, a window salesman has created a living laboratory for investigating hummingbird behavior. The Bird in My Backyard follows citizen scientist Eric Pittman as he documents the journeys of two hummingbirds as they attempt to raise their young in his urban garden. It’s a story about the childlike curiosity in all of us, the wonders it can reveal, and the doors it can open if we just lean in a bit closer.
