Disney historian Jeff Kurtti is launching a new film series at Orange County's Frida Cinema. The aroha Theater is Orange County's only nonprofit arthouse theater. The series, titled "The Walt Disney Studies," will celebrate Disney's rich history of big screen storytelling. It features guest speakers and exclusive programming. The inaugural series begins on September 27 with a screening of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and a conversation between Kurtti and Kevin Kidney, a Disney designer.
The series will conclude on November 29 with a double-feature of the documentary "Walt and El Grupo" and "Saludos Amigos." Kurtti's interest in the series stems from his desire to share some of Disney's rare films in a curated way. He worked with his partner Jeremy Martinez to select the films and create a "Got to See It on a Big Screen" list. The Frida cinema was chosen for its varied and broad spectrum of film types.
