When I Grow Up

Director: Michelle Meeker

Showing: May 30, 2pm, MTC

(Filmmaker in person)

Twelve animators from around the world provide a variety of visual styles to complement the director’s interviews with children and elders regarding the title subject. When I Grow Up is both entertaining and telling as it limns the certainty of youthful expectation and the surprise of an older actuality.
