Bozeman Film Society continues to virtually stream independent titles for movie lovers. Watch safely at home with new titles added weekly. Streaming sales directly support BFS. Here’s a look at a few early spring options.
Stream rock n’ roll-inspired Days of the Bangold Summer through March 11th. Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel, the film is a funny yet sweet coming-of-age story about single motherhood and Metallica. Daniel was supposed to spend the summer with his dad and his dad’s new wife in Florida, but when his dad cancels the trip, he and his mother suddenly face the prospect of six long weeks together. An epic war of wills ensues in their suburban home as Daniel just wants to listen to heavy metal and start a band while his mom hopes to rekindle the fun times they used to have together. The film runs 86 minutes.
Moroccan Academy Award contender Adam is available through March 25th. Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8-year-old daughter, Warda. When Samia, a young pregnant woman knocks on their door, Abla is far from imagining that her life will change forever. The film runs 86 minutes.
Available March 8th–21st, the Women’s Adventure Film Tour will stream in time for International Women’s Day. This festival is a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure. This year’s lineup features a diverse set of films featuring women of all ages and backgrounds including Australian Olympic hopeful Lucy Stirling, New Zealand Olympian Janina Kuzma, World Champion Paraglider Klaudia Bulgakow and many more including women in snow sports, mountaineering, high lining, swimming and mountain biking.
Pooch doc Stray opens March 12th and will be available through the end of the month. The “tour-de-force of documentary filmmaking” follows a trio of canine outcasts roaming the streets of Istanbul. Variety calls it the “ultimate love letter to dogs, and a multifaceted moral inquiry into humanity.” Not Rated with a runtime of 73 minutes.
Another documentary, Super Frenchie, opens March 26th. The film provides an intimate look at the life of professional skier and BASE jumper Matthias Giraud, who stops at nothing to pursue his passion for adventure. Featuring breathtaking cinematography, it combines the thrills and danger of some of the world’s most extreme sports with the subject’s personal experience to tell a story that is both heart-racing and inspirational. Not Rated and runs 77 minutes.
Cost and rental period vary per title. Public film screenings at the Ellen will resume when large gatherings can be safely scheduled. Follow BFS on social media for updates. Visit www.bozemanfilmsociety.org for film previews and further information – and “Keep ‘Em Flickering!” •
