Friends,
Among birders there is something called a “Big Day,” in which a birder seeks to spy as many avian species as possible in a 24-hour period.
To celebrate his 40th birthday, Elijah Davidson is having his own “Big Day.” He will be screening, in a single day, all of Wes Anderson’s feature-length films, as well as the Roald Dahl short collection, in chronological order by date of release.
Saturday, April 27, 2024
From 3:59 to 23:59 PDT
Victuals will be served throughout the celebration.
Local friends are invited to join the celebration for as much time as they please at any point in the day. It's a come-and-go kind of thing. RSVP is not necessary—truly, just pop in anytime you want.
Distant friends as well as local friends who are unable to attend are invited to extend a birthday greeting to Elijah via the brief form below.
Cordially,
Elijah Davidson

After Bottle Rocket, start times are approximate. In order to ensure that all films fit into the Big Day, some closing credit sequences may be omitted early in the day.
Food and drinks will be scheduled for delivery. Some will be prepared beforehand, including the birthday cake. The cake will be served during The Grand Budapest Hotel scene about Mendel's Bakery.
Snacks and beverages will be available at all times throughout the screenings. If you are planning to attend and would find your heart gladdened by the presence of a certain snack, please, let me know.
We will not stop the films for any reason. Restroom breaks will be taken during closing credits.
