Free 35mm Film Screening: The Assassination of Jesse James April 11, 2008

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

A film that was not well viewed by the general public in theatres, so we thought we would give you a chance to experience the beautiful cinematography for the last time on the big screen (by 7-time Academy Award Nominated cinematographer, Roger Deakins)!

Synopsis- Robert Ford, who's idolized Jesse James since childhood, tries hard to join the reforming gang of the Missouri outlaw, but gradually becomes resentful of the bandit leader.

Starring Brad Pitt (Fight Club), Casey Affleck (Ocean's Eleven), Zooey Deschanel (Elf), Sam Rockwell (The Green Mile), Paul Schneider(All the Real Girls) and Mary-Louise Parker(Weeds). Nominated for two Academy Awards. Winner of Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. Winner of Best Picture at the SFFCC.

"Assassination is contemplative and quiet, a studied film that is surprisingly engrossing, not to mention so handsomely made you can hardly take your eyes off it. "- Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

Shown on an great 35mm print. The screening is free for everyone, no tickets or passes are necessary. Seating is limited and not guaranteed (FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE).
