Great Basin College Film Festival

Parasite Film Director Pleads for Secrecy, Find Out Why During the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Film Festival

The Great Basin College Film Festival Committee promises many cinematic surprises during their 15th Annual Film Festival to be held Feb. 14-15, and Feb. 21-22. Movies are shown at the Western Folklife Center and 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Theater beginning at 6 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for snacks provided by culinary sponsors. The WFC bar also opens at 5:30. Ticket prices are $10 for all screenings, with a student/senior discount of $7 available only for films shown at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载.

Film Committee Chair Russ Minter is intrigued with the festival’s feature film, Parasite, especially after journalists at the film’s premiere reported receiving hand-delivered letters from the director begging them not to write about all the twists and surprises in the movie.

“It’s fascinating to me that the director actually begged critics to not reveal any spoilers,” says Minter. “So, there has not been much written about the movie.” He notes that reviews have been stellar with the New York Film Critics naming it the “Best Film of the Year.” One film reviewer does say the story is a “whip-smart, fantastical, tragicomedy” that defies genre labels. This movie will be shown Friday, Feb. 21 at the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 theater. The culinary sponsor that night is Double Dice.

Oscar-nominated documentary, animated and live action short films are local community favorites, and are screened at the Western Folklife Center and 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Theater. Food will be served at intermission during these screenings. Tickets are $10 each night or $25 for a three-night package. Tickets sales begin December 15th at the Western Folklife Center Giftshop for the movie lovers on your holiday list.
