Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
(1968)
directed by Ken Hughes

Take an incredible ride with one of the most wonderful family films of all time. Dick Van Dyke stars as eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, who creates an extraordinary car called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Join Dick Van Dyke and his magical automobile for a trip to a mystical, musical world full of pirates, castles and plenty of old-fashioned fun!

Both programs will begin with a sing-a-long workshop so that families can learn a few of the songs featured in the film. The workshop will focus on rhythm making, harmony construction, and song deconstruction and will be hosted by the Brooklyn-based trio Tres Leches (Havalah Collins, Renée Skuba, and Jessie White).

Today's events take place at Tribeca Cinemas, 54 Varick Street. Click for a map.
