More than Movies: “Snowflake Bentley”
Multiple showings today at 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Based upon a Caldecott Medal winning book by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, this 16- minute film brings Mary Azarian’s beautiful illustrations to life in this true story of William “Snowflake” Bentley. Bentley was fascinated with snowflakes, spent years drawing and photographing them, and brought the beauty and wonder of Vermont snow to people all over the world. After watching the film, we will make some beautiful snowflakes of our own in this signature winter activity.
