Annie
The beloved 1982 musical based on a 1977 stage musical which was based on a 1924 comic strip. Set during the Great Depression in 1933, the film tells the story of Annie, an orphan from New York City who is taken in by America's richest billionaire, the eccentric Oliver Warbucks, much to the dismay of the grumpy woman who runs the orphanage. It's a hard-knock life indeed, but Annie never gives up her dreams – and she has the songs to prove it!
The Crazy History of Musicals: Before the screening, we will host a short talk by film director Alon Gur Arye on movie musicals (in Hebrew).
