If any circus fans out there are still looking for something to do this afternoon, “Circus Dreams,” a documentary following a year in the life of the traveling teen peformers of Circus Smirkus, is screening at 4 p.m. over at Watertown’s Arsenal Center for the Arts as part of Belmont’s World Film’s annual Family Festival.
The film may also be attractive to some for its local connection, according to Rebecca Richards, director of the Family Festival, who noted Lexington native and Waldorf School alumn Joy Powers is a central character and narrator of Circus Dreams.
“It’s exciting to note that [Powers is] currently touring with Ringling Bros. for the second time as a professional clown, a long held dream of hers,” Richards told Lexington Patch.
The screening today of Circus Dreams will be preceded by a live performance by members of Circus Smirkus, according to Belmont Patch’s preview of this year’s Family Festival, which is called ““A Cinematic Kaleidoscope of Cats, Characters and Circus Dreams.”
