Newfields Summer Nights: Encanto

The beloved summer tradition, The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series returns to Newfields on Fridays and select Saturdays this June, July, and August. Bring your friends and family and watch movies under the stars at Newfields. All you need is a chair or a blanket; concessions and beverages will be available for purchase. You are welcome to pack your own picnic (with non-alcoholic beverages only) if you’d like. For those who like to be prepared, sunscreen and bug spray are always a good idea. 

Ever After: A Cinderella Story

Encanto offers so much beauty. Beauty lives in the animation, in the story and how it unfolds, in the characters so relatable we can forget they possess actual magical powers. Focusing on the essential, however, unmagical Mirabel (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz), the story forges a link between generational trauma and the resilient hope the future can hold when community shows up for one another. In between catchy songs and dance sequences that capture a multitude of different cultures present in Colombia, Encanto illuminates the humble inner workings and politics of The Family Madrigal.

Directed by Jared Bush, Byron Howard, and Charise Castro Smith, 2021, 99 minutes, PG.
