Next Stop: The Polar Express
Mendocino Film Festival announces special screening of popular holiday film
MENDOCINO, CA – The Mendocino Film Festival has announced a special holiday screening of The Polar Express on Saturday, December 10. In partnership with the Skunk Train and Coast Cinemas, the Mendocino Film Festival will bring a day of holiday cheer to Fort Bragg with this heartwarming film and photos with Santa. Proceeds will benefit the Mendocino Film Festival.
The day begins at 10:00 am, when children will have the opportunity to share their holiday wishes and take photos with Santa in the lobby of the Coast Cinemas. Then, children and adults alike will embark on a fun seasonal adventure when the film begins at 11:00 am. The film follows a young boy who doubts the existence of Santa but finds reason to believe as he discovers much about the world and himself during the course of a magical train ride to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.
‘“Tis the season!” says Mendocino Film Festival Executive Director Michael Fox. “This is my favorite time of year. We are delighted to partner with Coast Cinemas to bring the joy of film and family and the spirit of the season to our community.”
Tickets are available online at mffpolarexpress.eventbrite.com and in person at the Coast Cinemas and the Skunk Train Depot.
