Film Series Event:

Vitus (2006)

Monday, July 13, 2009 · 8pm

Dragonfly Theater & Pub

Boone, North Carolina

Sponsored by Footsloggers Outdoor & Travel Outfitters

Rated PG
Subtitled
Running time: 123 mins.

Winner of the Best Swiss Film Award (2006), this film is the tale of Vitus, a five-year-old pianist with hearing like a bat who studies encyclopedias. His parents anticipate a brilliant future for him as a concert pianist, but the child prodigy prefers to play in his eccentric grandfather's workshop. He dreams of flying and of a normal childhood. Ultimately, with one dramatic leap, Vitus takes control of his own life.

The Magic of Motion Pictures
Since the first motion pictures, films have been integral to how we experience the world. Films draw us into another world through a magical connection that can lead to understanding, self-realization, heartbreak, joy and pure entertainment. An Appalachian Summer Festival first presented a film series in 2008, and invites you to, once again, give in to the magic of the movies as we present, through these films, four distinct experiences that connect us with our world.
