The Billy Wilder Theater opens 15 minutes before each *Family Flicks* program. Studio Ghibli’s enchanting adaptation of Mary Norton’s classic children’s novel *The Borrowers* follows Arrietty, a tiny “Borrower,” who lives in secret with her family under the floorboards of a rustic human cottage. When she’s discovered by Shawn, an ailing young boy who’s come to spend the summer with his great-aunt, her whole world feels threatened. Showcasing Ghibli’s signature lush and cozy animation, *The Secret World of Arrietty* is a gentle, awe-inspiring story about bravery, trust and a beautiful friendship that bridges two very different worlds.—*Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm* Director: Hiromasa Yonebayashi. Screenwriter: Hayao Miyazaki, Keiko Niwa. With: Bridgit Mendler, David Henrie, Amy Poehler.
