TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY - 3D

SPECIAL EVENT CO-PRESENTED WITH DOC NYC

Recommended for all ages

Sat, Nov 6 - 11:30am - IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue (at West Third)

SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3D! -- This awe-inspiring nature film follows the personal story of a single loggerhead turtle, one of hundreds of adorable, vulnerable babies born in the sands of the Florida coast, as she grows into a strong-willed adult braving the six-thousand mile journey that has been the species' perilous ritual for millions of years.

Critically acclaimed for visually resplendent nature footage on par with Planet Earth or March of the Penguins, Turtle features sweeping aerial shots and vast, majestic underwater seascapes that help underscore the epic scope of the journey with a survival adventure as tense as any Hollywood thriller.

DIRECTOR IN PERSON! WINNER - LA FILM FESTIVAL! Six teenage magicians travel from around the world to Las Vegas to compete for the title of Teen World Champion. Armed with dazzling tricks and mind-bending illusions, these young contestants hit the stage with routines that range from sexy to comic to flashy, to just plain odd.

Academy-Award nominee Marshall Curry unearths the world of competitive go-kart racing in this simultaneously intimate and thrilling documentary on the World Karting Association's National Series. Three of the country's most talented drivers vie for the championship title before any of them are even eligible for a driver's license. Yet for top racers Annabeth (11), Josh (13) and Brandon (12), scarier than spinning out or losing a race are the perils of school work, family life and first love. As Curry documents the tweens' extraordinary dedication to go after their dreams in a sport where every second can become a life-changing decision, these three must come to terms with who they want to be - both on and off the track.
