The Point
Sep 24, 2005
(Harry Nilsson & Fred Wolf, USA, 1971, 16mm, 74 min.)
HARRY NILSSON'S CHILDREN'S CLASSIC
Shown in 2002 at our annual Childish Film Festival, THE POINT is a perfect example of the creative, non-commercial family programming we've been dedicated to exhibiting.
This 70s animated classic based on songs by Harry Nilsson takes place in the land of Point, where everything - buildings, trees and even people - is pointed, except for one little round-headed kid named Oblio. Banished with his dog Arrow, Oblio makes an adventurous hero's journey through the mysterious "Pointless Forest." Don't miss the chance to see this beloved musical masterpiece on film.
