The area is also the scene of an unresolved struggle between the needs of man and the needs of nature. The film pleads for its preservation. \n“Function”: Made by a Miami filmmaker Larry Kleinman\, this is a startling suspense drama on the future and ecology. A story about two boys who are on their way to see a tree in a museum\, showing that their behavior is indicative of their environment. Set in the near future which is insulated from the polluted outside world and which is run by computers. \n“Magnetic Telescope”: An animated Superman adventure made in Miami. A scientist’s experiment with a magnetic telescope causes a huge comet to fall to the earth. Even Superman has a hard time with this crisis! \n \nTickets are free with registration.
