Animation is Art at NC State University's Witherspoon Campus Cinema is a special weekend screening of the 2025 animated feature film, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain. This event is best suited for middle schoolers, teenagers, and parents who appreciate foreign cinema and artistic storytelling. Tickets cost seven dollars per person. The screening takes place inside the Witherspoon Student Center on the NC State campus, where parking is typically easier to find on Saturday evenings than during the workweek, though you should still arrive early to navigate the campus lots. It makes a smart weekend pick if you want to ease your older kids into subtitled films or need a low-cost, indoor evening activity that feels a bit more sophisticated than the standard multiplex run.
Due to the artistic themes and subtitled format of the 2025 film, this screening is best suited for teenagers and older children who can easily read subtitles.
How much are tickets and where do we park?
