Film: Little Miss Sunshine, 20th Anniversary Screening

Yale FIlm Archive: Sundance Revisited Film Series Little Miss Sunshine (Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, 2006, 35mm, 101 mins) 20th anniversary screening! “This sparkling little gem takes the family road movie to unhoped-for heights of hilarity and humanity” (Angie Arrigo). Greg Kinnear, Toni Colette, Steve Carell, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Arkin pile into a battered yellow VW van so seven-year-old Olive can chase her dream (and show off her dance moves) at a kiddie beauty pageant in sunny California. Beloved by audiences and praised by critics, this sleeper hit won Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay (Michael Arndt) and Best Supporting Actor (Arkin). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. Sundance Revisited features a selection of films from our collection that had their American or world premieres at the festival. Yale Film Archive screenings are always free and open to the public.
