Please join the East Lansing Children’s Film Festival on Sunday, February 26, 2006 at South Kedzie Hall on the MSU campus for the screening of Pilala.
12-year-old Adipas can’t wait to watch his country’s running hero compete in the final race of the Olympics. Unfortunately, an electricity failure in his village ruins his big plans. Granddad’s café is the only place in town to watch, and Adipas tears the village up getting there. A hilarious quest for Olympic glory, with a gorgeous Greek Isle as the backdrop.
Enjoy Pilala and five other short films that comprise this TeenREEL Program M at 2:10 pm. Recommended for those 12 and older due to mature themes and mild language.
