Presented free to seniors (62+) on Monday afternoons through October. Beginning this March, our senior matinee screenings are fully incorporated into our regular film calendar. Cinematic classics from the George Eastman House collection will be presented in 35mm, the way they were originally screened and were meant to be seen. This series is made possible in part by the Daisy Marquis Jones Foundation and the Monroe County Office for the Aging.
Bogged down with lawsuits and money troubles following King Kong’s charge through Manhattan, conscience-heavy producer Carl Denham boards the Venture, a ship captained by the enterprising Captain Englehorn. In Dakang they meet Nils Helstrom, who spins a yarn about treasure on Skull Island to fool them into getting him out of Dakang. When they reach Skull Island they realize Kong wasn’t the only member of his family . . . Quickly following on the success of King Kong, The Son of Kong is a charming, small-scale sequel, featuring much of the crew of the first film, including animator Willis O’Brien.
