You can bring the kids for the stilt walkers and jugglers, for the popcorn, pizza and face-painting, for all the under-the-big-tent fun that is Cinema Circus at the Chilmark Community Center every Wednesday at 5 p.m. The main act, of course, is the movie. This week the film is Kirikou and the Sorceress, and here to review it is Island kid critic Stella Frank.
See article below for details of the grownup film, Lost Son of Havana, which screens at 8 p.m., same place.
Kirikou and the Sorceress
By Stella Frank
Fledgling director and Vanity Fair special correspondent Matt Tyrnauer filmed 270 hours of the final two years of Italian haute couture designer Valentino Garavani’s career before his 2007 retirement, capturing the absurdly opulent life of the small, bronzed man he calls both a genius and “a bossy nightmare.”
Pluck Some Summer Music in a Bargain With Cattle Drivers
Who better than the songwriter of Road Rage to kick off the summer concert series called Sounds Like Summer in Edgartown?

Kick Up Your Feet and Have a Great Fourth of July
Fourth of July? If you are a kid, all you need to know is they do toss candy in the parade through Edgartown, so bring a bag for your stash. If you have kids, you need to know that cars are a no-no after 3 p.m. in Edgartown, so take the bus or park at the Triangle or beyond.
