There will be a free screening of the Australian film Crocodile Dreaming on Friday, July 5 at the Toledo Museum of Art, in conjunction with the ongoing exhibit, Crossing Cultures: The Owen and Wagner Collection of contemporary Aboriginal Australian Art from the Hood Museum of Art. The film tells the story of two half-brothers, estranged and struggling against jealousy and distrust of each other’s lifestyles. Both are called on a journey, and when they come together they are met by the spirit of their mother, who leads them to “the special creation place”. The film is a project of Darlene Johnson, who’s love for horror films shines through in some scenes, making it less ideal for younger audiences. Crocodile Dreaming is an example of classical storytelling supported by modern filmmaking. 7:30pm. free. Little Theater, Toledo Museum of Art. 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. www.toledomuseum.org—DL
