Saturday, June 30 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: STOP MAKING SENSE, 1984, Palm Pictures, 88 min. Jonathan Demme revolutionized the art of shooting rock concerts with this innovative and lively record of the Talking Heads. The film expertly captures the music's energy, fusing cinema with performance to create something more than the sum of its parts. Artistically ambitious, filled with joyous but controlled energy, this is considered by many critics to be the best concert film of all time. [35mm]
