Hear ye, hear ye! A popular outdoor event returns this month with a screening of outrageous cult classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Gather your coconut shells and gallup your invisible horse to Story Mansion Park for a night of comedy and community. Round up friends and family on Saturday, August 23rd, grab your blankets and head down for the 16th annual “Story Under the Stars”.
Presented each August by the Bozeman Film Society, Friends of the Story Mansion and City of Bozeman Parks & Recreation, this FREE family event on the lush lawn of Story Mansion Park begins with kids’ crafts and activities, an Aarrgh Castle toss and photo booth. Also enjoy food trucks, popcorn and a Mead Garden for those 21+ courtesy of Valhalla Meadery.
Grossing the highest box office of any British film in the United States when released in 1975, this “cult classic” comedy from the Monty Python team loosely follows the legend of King Arthur (Graham Chapman), along with his squire (Terry Gilliam) and his Knights of the Round Table (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin), as they embark on a fearless quest in search of the elusive Holy Grail. A hysterical, historical tour-de-force from Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. The film is Rated PG-13 with a runtime of 91 minutes.
Activities, food trucks and mead pours begin at 6:30pm. The film starts at dusk, around 9pm, in Story Mansion Park, located on the corner of Willson and College. Event admission is complimentary with costumes encouraged. Learn more about the current season at www.bozemanfilmsociety.org – and Keep ‘Em Flickering! •
