The Everett Public Library’s free monthly screening of award-winning independent films returns from summer vacation at 2 p.m., Sunday in the library’s main auditorium.
This month’s film, which was an official selection of Sundance and the Toronto film festivals, is “Long Life, Happiness, and Prosperity,” the story of 12-year-old Mindy’s attempt to find a boyfriend for her mother using ancient Chinese magic. Directed by Mina Shum, the film is in English. It runs 91 minutes.
The library is located at 2702 Hoyt Ave. Call 425-257-8005 for more information.
