Film Screening and Discussion- The Red Shoes

August’s theme is “Gotta Dance!”

This week’s film is  The Red Shoes, beloved by filmmakers around the world – dark, obsessive, and lavishly (techni)color-filled.

“In this classic drama, Vicky Page is an aspiring ballerina torn between her dedication to dance and her desire to love. While her imperious instructor, Boris Lermontov, urges her to forget anything but ballet, Vicky begins to fall for the charming young composer Julian Craster. Eventually Vicky, under great emotional stress, must choose to pursue either her art or her romance, a decision that carries serious consequences.”

• Showtime is 6 pm and after each screening, all will be invited to go into the downstairs conference room where a discussion of the film will be held. Meals from various local restaurants will be available for purchase at the discussions. Various scholars and critics will also be attending the screenings & discussions.
• FREE Movies every Tuesday at the Electric Theater!
