Miami Beach Film Society presents:
“MICKY’S MOVIES”
LOST HORIZON
(In collaboration with the Wolfsonian-FIU)
This spring, the Wolfsonian and MBFS are celebrating Micky Wolfson by screening his favorite flicks. First up is Frank Capra’s 1937 sci-fi romance LOST HORIZON, starring Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt. Before boarding, start your journey with a 3:30pm Wolfsonian tour of “A Universe of Things”, the Wolfsonian exhibition on Micky’s collecting legacy, followed by the 4:30pm movie at O Cinema South Beach.
Based on a novel by James Hilton, this fantastical drama follows a group of plane-crash survivors who have landed in the mythical Shangri-La, a valley hidden deep within the mountains of the Himalayas. Rescued by followers of the High Llama (Sam Jaffe), the outsiders grow to love the remote paradise, but British writer and diplomat Robert Conway (Ronald Colman), suspecting that the crash was no accident, begins to investigate, leading to a surprising revelation.
