 Belmont World Film’s Family Festival celebrates
the 60th anniversary of Weston Woods Studios, a pioneer in producing
award-winning films for children based on best-loved children’s books, November
23-24, at Belmont’s Studio Cinema (376 Trapelo Road) and The Beech Street
Center (266 Beech St., Belmont). Saturday’s events feature classic and new
films from Weston Woods, free anniversary cake, and a special visit from
award-winning father/daughter author/illustrators Ed and Rebecca Emberley, the
creators behind dozens of popular children’s books including Big Green Monster, Chicken Little, The Red Hen and The
Ant and the Grasshopper. The Emberley’s will screen the Weston Woods films
based on their books, talk about their creative process, and sign books for
their fans.

“Belmont World Film is so pleased to have Ed and Rebecca
Emberley take part in our celebration of Weston Woods Studios,” said Rebecca
Richards, director of Belmont World Film’s Family Festival. “ “My children and
I (like so many others), have been longtime fans of the Emberley’s wonderfully
exuberant books, so for Belmont World Film to now give young filmgoers and
their families an opportunity to meet Ed and Rebecca in person and learn about
their creative process is 
exciting.”

 The Family Film Festival Weston Woods celebration continues
Sunday, November 24, with another full day of film programs, plus free cake and
a live musical performance with Ed Morgan at noon. Sunday’s events take place in
Belmont at the Studio Cinema  on
Trapelo Road and the Beech St. Center.
