Bird
5:30 p.m.—7:30 p.m.Houston Cinema Arts Festival
A striking coming-of-age tale that hides its magic in plain sight, Bird follows 12-year-old Bailey, who lives with her single father, Bug, and brother Hunter in a squat in North Kent. Bug struggles to find time for his children, leading Bailey to seek adventure elsewhere. Leaving the squat, she meets Bird, an eccentric dreamer who dares Bailey to spread her wings.
