Casket Cinema kicks off its’19th season with MN filmmaker Norah Shapiro’s award winning Magic & Monsters. Magic & Monsters uncovers the long-buried story of widespread sexual abuse at America’s preeminent children’s theater. In the aftermath of litigation, four survivors attempt the unthinkable: working with the very institution that harmed them. Their search for justice offers a hopeful blueprint for healing in the wake of trauma. Special guests will be director Norah Shapiro, Producer Elizabeth Foy Larsen and DoP Brennan Vance. A post film salon will invite the audience to comment on the film and ask questions. Come to Casket Arts on Thursday Sept 17th at 730pm for this extraordinary and courageous night of MN documentary.
