100th Anniversary Special Film: March of the Penguins

March of the Penguins returns to The Colonial Theatre!
Join us as we celebrate our 100th Anniversary Season and look back at some of the most meaningful and memorable Colonial events. March of the Penguins screened 19 years ago and sold the most tickets (3000+) of any film in Colonial history, other than the 1924 opening week screenings of Hunchback of Notre Dame. And as a 100th-year event, there will be special prizes and giveaways! 

 

At the end of each Antarctic summer, the emperor penguins of the South Pole journey to their traditional breeding grounds in a fascinating mating ritual that is captured in this documentary by intrepid filmmaker Luc Jacquet. The journey across frozen tundra proves to be the simplest part of the ritual, as after the egg is hatched, the female must delicately transfer it to the male and make her way back to the distant sea to nourish herself and bring back food to her newborn chick.
