The Buster Keaton silent classic "The General" featuring Alloy Orchestra
$9/14/18

Since its 1926 premiere, The General has earned critical acclaim as one of the best train films ever made and one of the best silent comedies. The three-man Alloy ensemble works with an outrageous assemblage of peculiar objects to produce new and profound music to silent film greats.

An extraordinary combination of found percussion (drums, hubcaps, truck springs, and other found metal) gives the Orchestra the ability to create any sound imaginable. Their new score to The General compliments their roster of scores to such classic films as Metropolis and Underworld.

“The best in the world at accompanying silent films.” –Roger Ebert

Big Screen Classics: Giant
$5

Set in the expansive vistas of the great Texas plains, GIANT portrays the effects of the oil industry upon Texas cattle ranchers and their subsequent evolution into the super rich of their generation. Subplots of materialism, racism and sexism thread through this complex saga of ranch life, passion-charged human relations and one man’s transformation from abject poverty to oil rich tycoon.

 

7:00 PM
Big Screeen Classics: The Searchers
$5

Director John Ford’s controversial Western stars John Wayne, Vera Miles, Natalie Wood and Jeffrey Hunter.

Released in 1956, the film was largely misunderstood by its audience and critics. In the 1970s it gained critical acclaim from New York Magazine as the “Super-Cult Movie of the New Hollywood.” It has since influenced many directors, including: Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and “Wim” Wenders.

The film's emotionally complex, deeply-nuanced themes include racism, individuality, sexism, obsession and revenge, as it tells the story of a perilous, hate-ridden quest and Homeric-style odyssey after a Comanche massacre.

 

7:00 PM
National Theatre of London in HD – Cherry Orchard
$22 / $15 Students and LPAC Members

This spirited new version by playwright Andrew Upton, acclaimed for his adaptations of Philistines and The White Guard is directed by NT Associate Director Howard Davies, whose recent productions of Russian plays (Philistines, Burnt by the Sun and The White Guard) have earned critical acclaim.

Set at the beginning of the twentieth century, The Cherry Orchard captures a poignant moment in Russia’s history as the country rolls inexorably toward the Russian Revolution. Zoë Wanamaker stars as Madame Ranevskaya who returns to the family estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) more or less bankrupt after ten years abroad. Continuing to luxuriate in her swiftly fading opulence and despite the growing hostile forces outside, she and her brother snub the lucrative scheme of Lopakhin, a peasant turned entrepreneur, to save the family estate. In so doing, they put up their lives for auction and seal the fate of the beloved orchard.
