BFS film reels roll once again with Ellen screenings
Just announced: Bozeman Film Society will return to public film screenings for the 2021-22 Season!
Opening Wednesday, September 29th, BFS welcomes movie-lovers back to the recently renovated Ellen Theatre with In the Heights.
Based on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning Broadway musical, the film celebrates the vivacious LatinX community of Washington Heights where Manuel grew up. Led by director John M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) and brimming with stand-out performances, the film stands as a celebration of community “mixing hip-hop flavors with latin beats to give us a gorgeously layered and robustly performed love letter to Latin America and its people,” writes Jewish Chronicle’s Linda Marric. Don’t miss this one on the big screen! Rated PG-13, the film runs 143 minutes.
Following Wednesday, October 13th, BFS screens Pig, starring Nicolas Cage.
Considered by critics to be some of Cage’s best work in years, the story follows an emotionally broken man living alone in the Oregon wilderness who returns to Portland to find the person who stole his beloved truffle pig. A bittersweet and often surprisingly tender exploration of food, creative expression, and human connection, film critic Randy Myers of the San Jose Mercury writes, “It is Cage who carries Pig with a measured performance in which his trademark outbursts pierce the soul. He’s magnificent.” Rated R, the film runs 92 minutes.
Both films screen at 7pm at the Ellen Theatre. Reserved tickets are $9.25-$9.75 (plus fees) and available at www.theellentheatre.org, by calling (406) 585-5885, or by visiting the Ellen box office. Doors open at 6:30pm. Wine, beer and concessions will be available in the lobby. CC devices available.
