Rialto Film Series Presents: Elf at Rialto Center for the Arts

Ring in the holidays with the world’s most famous “Elf.” A man raised by Santa's helpers travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, a modern Scrooge who doesn't know his son exists, but desperately needs some Christmas spirit. Starring Will Ferrell as “Buddy” in the iconic title role, this holiday favorite—ranked by Fandango as the best Christmas film of the 21st century—features a comedic all-star cast including Bob Newhart, James Caan, Mary Steenbergen, Ed Asner, Amy Sedaris and Zooey Deschanel directed by another comedy legend, John Favreau. Nominated for several awards, “Elf” is presented with the Rialto’s recently upgraded digital projector, screen and sound system.
