Movies That Changed Your Life
Presented by IdeaFestival and the Louisville Film Society
22 July 2008 - IdeaFestival (IF) and Louisville Film Society announced today the three movies that will be screened over the next several months as part of the “Movies That Changed Your Life” Film Series. Over 170 nominations were made online over the last month. From those submissions three films were selected to be shown. A complete list of all of the submissions is available at the IdeaFestival web site http://www.ideafestivalcom.
The titles and dates for the screenings are:
Friday, August 1 - To Kill A Mocking Bird
Friday, August 29 - When We Were Kings
Friday, September 26 - (during IF) Dr. Strangelove
The series will be held at the new Brown-Forman Amphitheatre in Waterfront Park starting at 9:30 PM. In event of bad weather, any cancelled movies will be screened in early October. Admission is free.
The Amphitheatre opens at 8:00 PM for blankets, chairs and picnicking.
If you would like more information about the Film Series, or to schedule an interview, please call George Parker, Jr. at 502.299.0950 or email at george@louisvillefilm.org; or call Dann Byck at 502-500-1312 or email at dbyck@ideafestival.com
So, I don't think any of these movies changed my life, although I love When We Were Kings very dearly. If these are the movies that changed the lives of those in Louisville (the votes were tallied, after all), what does this imply about the general character of the Louisvillian? or of Louisville? I mean, the Muhammad Ali movie is a little obvious, right? But what about the other two? Kind of prosaic, right? Hrm.
