Film Screening: The Sheep Detectives (2026)

The Sheep Detectives (2026) offers a warm, gently absurd premise: a shepherd reads murder mysteries aloud to his flock every night, and when he turns up dead, the sheep set out to solve the crime themselves. This 109-minute PG comedy screens Monday afternoon, September 21, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Avalon. English subtitles are available for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. The screening is part of the library system's Community Cinema series, with dozens of other free films across Chicago branches.
