Locally filmed Unabomber drama features post-screening panel
Public film screenings continue with Bozeman Film Society this spring. An upcoming Ellen event has been announced as part of the 2021-22 Season.
Next up, BFS hosts a special screening of Tony Stone’s Ted K starring Sharlto Copely as the titular Ted Kaczynski. The film will be followed by a panel discussion with Production and Costume Designer Kate Lindsay, and Jeri Rafter, Production Manager. It will be moderated by environmental historian and author Betsy Gaines Quammen, PhD. The event is set for 7pm on Wednesday, April 13th at the Ellen Theatre.
Deep in the American Rocky Mountains lived a man who sought refuge from modern society. His dark writings forewarned of a society ruled by technology. As the outside world encroached on his mountain sanctuary, he slowly became radicalized with rage. What began with small acts of sabotage, culminated with deadly bomb attacks, national media attention, and the largest manhunt in American history. Rated R, the film runs 120 minutes.
Filmed on the actual Lincoln, Montana land where Ted Kaczynski’s 10-by-12-foot cabin once stood, Wall Street Journal film critic, Joe Morgenstern, writes that the drama delivers “A stunning performance by Sharlto Copely… finding emotional mercury in Kaczynski’s boiling cauldron of rage.”
Ted K screens 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.
