Drop-in Workshop for Families: Color in Motion and Experimental Film
Join us in the Shirley Temple Education Studio to create art inspired by experimental film!
Free with General Admission
Repeated Event: May 3–May 17, 2025
Inspired by the Color in Motion exhibition, families can think outside the box and explore one of the many different ways that filmmakers make experimental films! We will be using spirograph drawing tools, which consist of gears and wheels in stencils, to create geometrical designs like the art we see in the Color in Motion Experimental Film gallery.
Check back soon for upcoming workshop themes!
We encourage visitors to attend our weekly Family Matinees film series. A separate admission ticket is required.

March of the Penguins in 35mm
Each year, at the end of the Antarctic summer, emperor penguins embark on a grueling journey in impossible temperatures to reach their breeding grounds for a traditional mating ritual. The biggest challenge comes after their eggs hatch, as the penguins take turns protecting their chicks while searching for nourishment, demonstrating their determination and resilience in caring for their young. March of the Penguins was four years in the making, with director Luc Jacquet and his crew spending a little over a year filming in Antarctica. Remarkably shot, underwater cameras were used to capture never-before-seen footage of penguins below the ocean’s surface.

Wall-E in 35mm
A lonely waste-collecting robot on an abandoned Earth in the year 2805 CE unexpectedly falls in love with another robot and manages to save the human race in this hilarious and touching computer-animated feature from writer-director Andrew Stanton. Wall-E illustrates the effects of consumerism, highlighting the devastating impact of pollution and waste on the planet. One of the most unusual and ambitious films in the Pixar filmography, it won an Animated Feature Film Oscar and earned nominations for its original screenplay, sound mixing, sound editing, score, and the original song “Down To Earth” by Thomas Newman and Peter Gabriel.
