WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema continues its family-friendly film series Bright Young Things with a documentary about one of the world’s most successful toys.

In August, Images will screen "A LEGO Brickumentary." Narrated by Jason Bateman, this kid-firendly documentary explores the LEGO universe of creativity and inspiration. The narrative will take us to art galleries full of LEGO creations, introduce us to Master Builders making movies, explore the world of LEGO therapy and bring us along to meet AFOLS (Adult Fans of LEGO), each with amazing stories to tell. A LEGO Brickumentary explores the essential nature of human creativity and the ways we seek to build and understand our world.

LEGOs will be available to play with, starting 30 minutes prior to each show. A Q&A with Steven Miller, Williams College Mathematics Professor and LEGO-building record-holder, will take place after both shows. Shows are Saturday, Aug. 8, at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 9, at 12:30 p.m.

Leading up to the screenings of "A LEGO Brickumentary," Images Cinema will hold a  “LEGO Drive.” LEGOs cannot be recycled, but they can be reused and re-enjoyed for generations. From now through Aug. 9, people can bring in their gently-used LEGO  bricks and receive a free pee-wee popcorn. LEGO donations will benefit the UNO  Community Center in North Adams. Images Cinema is located at 50 Spring St.

Bright Young Things continues in September with "When Marnie Was There," a latest film from Studio Ghibli and the director of The Secret of Arriety. With an English language  cast that includes Hailee Steinfeld, Kiernan Shipka, Geena Davis, John C. Reilly and Vanessa Williams, this acclaimed animated feature is a sweeping story of friendship, mystery and discovery.

In October, Bright Young Things presents "Fantastic Journeys: Animated Shorts." Originally presented at the 2015 Children’s Film Festival Seattle, this program features animated shorts from 10 countries, including France, Japan, Russia and the United States.

Regular ticket prices apply to all Bright Young Things shows.
