Well folks, it was a long time coming, but Lexington is finally providing a very cool and very free cultural service to the people of the region. I present to you, The Bluegrass Film Society. My hat's off to these guys, whomever they may be. Throughout the coming weeks you can attend a free showing of some modern and classic cinema without driving countless miles to other cities. A night at the movies can now include an interesting alternative. VERY COOL. The upcoming schedule is posted on their website, but I'll share a few with you.
May 16th:
Gift (Perry Farrell and Casey Nicolli: US 1993)
May 23rd:
The Celebration (Thomas Vinterberg: Denmark 2003)
May 30th:
Humanite (Bruno Dumont: France 1999)
June 6th:
A Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami: Iran 1997)
June 13th:
No Man’s Land (Danis Tanovic: Bosnia 2001)
June 20th:
Pulse (Kiyoshi Kurasowa: Japan 2001)
June 27th:
Blue (Krzysztof Kieslowski: Poland 1993)
On a related note, Richard Kelly's new film is going to debut this year. It's advertised as Andy Warhol meets Phillip K. Dick, the next Brazil, and a "domain of chaos." The cast couldn't be more bizarre (The Rock, Mandy Moore, Kevin Smith, John Laroquette, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean William Scott), the film features a six hundred page graphic novel tie-in and Moby is doing the score... oh, and did I mention that it's been nominated for the Palme D'or (the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival)?
I'm bumping this up to #2 most anticipated film of 2006, right behind Snakes On A Plane.

The Richard Kelley film sounds very interesting!
Thanks for the plug of the BFS
I was scanning this article and seen the name Kurosawa. Then I noticed the first name. *Sigh* I thought I might get to see a Akira Kurosawa film on the big screen. Ah well. Maybe next time.
