PTFF Pics is a screening program put on by the Port Townsend Film Festival. Thank you for supporting the arts and independent film.
This PTFF Pic is generously sponsored by the Port Townsend Public Library in conjunction with their Community Read program featuring The House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. Thanks to Friends of the Library here in Port Townsend, we’re presenting this PTFF Pic free of charge!
It's 1984 and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is at the top of the charts, even in Waihau Bay, New Zealand, where Boy lives on a farm with his Maori grandmother, his younger brother, several cousins and a goat. Gran goes to a funeral; Boy's father, who has spent most of his life in jail, returns home, and the kid's heroic image of him takes a new direction. The Maori-inspired "Thriller" dance number at the end is priceless.
BOY was an official selection at the 2011 Port Townsend Film Festival.
