On Thursday, August 18, through Saturday, August 20, the Film Center in Vineyard Haven will be screening Life Animated, the film adaptation of the best selling book by Ron Suskind about his son Owen, who due to autism did not speak for years until he began using Disney movies to find a way to communicate.

The director of the film, Ross Williams, will be available after all of the screenings for a Q&A, and Mr. Suskind, Owen and the family will be in attendance for the Friday and Saturday films. All screenings begin at 7:30 p.m.
