CLASSIC FILM NOIR SERIES - JANUARY / FEBRUARY

Cine presents a special winter series of films from Hollywood's classic film noir period on 35mm prints when available, and with special guest speakers introducing each screening.

ADMISSION: $9 - GENERAL | $7 - STUDENT

THIS WEEK: DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944) Directed by Billy Wilder and adapted from a James M. Cain novel by Raymond Chandler, DOUBLE INDEMNITY represents the high-water mark of 1940s film noir urban crime dramas in which veteran actors Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, and Edward G. Robinson give some of their best performances, and Wilder's cynical sensibility finds a perfect match in the story's unsentimental perspective, heightened by John Seitz's hard-edged cinematography. With introducton by UGA Film Studies Professor Antje Ascheid at 7:30p.

ANVIL! DOCUMENTARY SCREENING + BAND Q&A - THURSDAY FEB 2

ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL: At 14, Toronto school friends Robb Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, went on to become the "demigods of Canadian metal," releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's Metal on Metal, influencing a musical generation, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity.

Director Sacha Gervasi has concocted a wonderful and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. At its core a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year, ANVIL! rocks - it has no other choice.
