The Strand to show “Flow” an Oscar winning feature

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Vicksburg’s The Strand Theatre will present a showing of “Flow” this Saturday, Nov. 15, beginning at 7 p.m.

“Flow” is a thrilling tale of friendship and survival that took indie animation to ecstatic new heights of ambition and imagination, this Academy Award–winning international sensation follows a courageous cat after its home is devastated by a great flood. 

As the cat teams up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, the crew must rely on trust, bravery, and their wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. 

Working with a small team using open-source software, visionary DIY animator Gints Zilbalodis conjures a sublime sensory odyssey and a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of community.

A dialogue-free film for the whole family, and of course, the popcorn is free.

Tickets are $9 in advance at Highway 61 Coffeehouse and $10 at the door. The Strand is located at 717 Clay Street in downtown Vicksburg.
