The Magic City

Manual Cinema brings Edith Nesbit’s 1910 novel The Magic City to life in a truly unique way! Follow the story of nine-year-old Philomena as she faces big changes in her life. After her older sister announces her engagement, Philomena must move in with her new stepbrother and navigate her feelings of loneliness. As she builds a miniature city in the attic, something magical happens—the city comes to life! With innovative use of overhead projectors, paper shadow puppets, live actors, and music, this modern retelling explores the power of creativity, the complexities of family, and the joy of building new connections.
