Frankenweenie
Directed by Tim Burton, 2012
PG; 90 minutes

When a car hits young Victor's pet dog Sparky, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them that Sparky's still the good, loyal friend he was.

Our film on the lawn, Frankenweenie, is presented in conjunction with the In the Making: The Sculpture Project, a series of art-making activities for all ages and skill levels, during October.

Bring a blanket, relax by the Modern's reflecting pond, and celebrate a new season! Please no pets, personal coolers, drinks, food, or lawn chairs.
