The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, September 30-October 3, 2017 Continued From C-3 Films laud banned books for people to see it.” Wang selected “The Outsiders” because she was introduced to the book, written by S.E. Hinton, and the film, when she was a teen. “First of all, it’s a book that I loved, and it’s a film that I grew up watching,” Wang said. “It’s an amazing story, and we all grew up with the actors in the film.” S.E. Hinton published “The Continued From C-2 October screenings scheduled Lune.” rated PG, on Oct. 14. The screening is part of the the film series’ Dual Language Immersion Program. “This is a great animated story out of France,” Wang said. “It tells of this little creature who becomes the guardian of the moon.” The film will be screened in French with English subtitles. “We’ve had a great response for the Dual Language Immersion Film Program,” Wang said. “It’s incredible to see how diverse their stories and what great representations of the cultures they come from. That’s the beauty of what we try to convey.” On Sunday, Oct. 15, before the final screening of “Wind River,” the Park City Film Series will present an airing of National Theater Live’s “Obsession,” not rated. The airing will be at 3 p.m., and the cost is $20 for the general public and $15 for Park City Film Series members. “In this production, Jude Law portrays a drifter who encounters a husband and wife,” Wang said. “He and the wife have an affair and then plot to kill her husband.” The production is directed by Ivo van Hove and is an adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s 1943 film ‘Ossessione.” “We love presenting National Theatre Live’s world-class theater in our little town,” Wang said. Not all of the October screenings are heavy and dramatic, as audiences will see with Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s “Lost in Paris” on Oct 20-22. “Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon are well known for their physical comedy,” Wang said. “They are slapstick duo who are very funny and very French.” “Lost in Paris” is about a small-town librarian in Canada who finds out her aunt has gone missing in France. “The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival last year, and people just loved it,” Wang said. “It is very Laurel and Hardy like, Outsiders” 50 years ago, and the themes are still relevant today. “To think this was a banned book is shocking,” Wang said. “I mean, really? It’s easier to see why ‘A Clockwork Orange’ was a banned book, but ‘The Outsiders?’ “I think this invites a conversation, because you ask why a book like this is banned. What did people find that was disturbing or challenging?” While there will be no panel discussion after the screenings, Wang wants to challenge film goers to engage in their own dialogues. “We invite the conversation that words have power, and as citizens, we should have access to those stories,” she said. “Both the Park City Library and the Summit County Library will have a display of books that have been banned, and we would like to invite the conversation into the community.” The Park City Film Series will present a free screening of “A Clockwork Orange” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 4, and a free screening at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7. Both screenings will be held at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium, 1255 Park Ave. For information, visit www.parkcityfilmseries.com. and it will be shown in French with subtitles.” On Oct. 26, the Park City Film Series will partner with the Slamdance Film Festival for Peter Spirer and Peter Baxter’s documentary “Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation,” not rated. Peter Baxter is Slamdance’s co-founder and he is coming in for a post-screening Q&A. “Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation” follows the Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse Team in the 2015 World Box Lacrosse Championships. Lacrosse is a Native American game and for the first time, the games were held on an Indian Reservation in upstate New York, Wang said. “On one level the film is about the team, but on another level it’s about sovereignty,” she said. “It shows the struggles of the Iroquois Nation getting recognized as a nation to compete against the United States, Canada and other countries. And it’s amazing to see what the sport means to them beyond just the act of playing it.” Both Spirer and Baxter knew the importance of making sure the film accurately represented the Native American voice, Wang said. “To do so, they created a cam- paign called More than a Game that will go with the film and launch in October,” she said. “This is to make sure the Iroquois Nation could tell the story in their own words, instead of looking like two outsiders coming in to tell the story.” The October weekend screenings wrap on Oct. 27-29 with Michael Almereyda’s “Marjorie Prime,” not rated. “This is an interesting film,” Wang said. “In this age of everchanging relationship with technology, this film takes those ideas the Nth degree.” The film is about artificial intelligence, and a woman, played by Geena Davis, who creates a hologram of her late husband in his prime. “She gets to choose how old he is and what memories he has, and since he’s artificial intelligence, he can learn things,” Wang said. “It’s an interesting conversation about technology and the inaccuracies about memories, and what we choose to remember. “It’s also about the dangers of living in the past, or the facsimile of the past.” The October films end on Halloween with two horror films — Don Seigel’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and Brian De Palma’s “Carrie.” “We are showing these films in partnership with the Park City Library, and this is the first time we’re doing this,” Wang said. “We thought it would be a fun thing to do especially if you’re not trick-or-treating — especially those who are too old to trickor-treat, but not quite old enough to enjoy a night on the town.” “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” will start at 6 p.m. and “Carrie” will start at 8 p.m. “While both of the films have been remade, we wanted to go back to the classics,” Wang said. “‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ is the 1956 version, and ‘Carrie’ is fro 1976.” Admission and popcorn for both films is free. People can attend in costume. “We have a very eclectic mix for October, which is something we always try to have,” Wang said. “There are some great stories, and I feel the Park City Film Series is a storyteller. Sometimes it’s provocative and sometimes its entertaining. “It’s been great for us to partner with the library, Sundance, Park City and the other organizations to tell stories from different angles to our community.” For information about the Park City Film Series, visit www. parkcityfilm.com. 2 C-5 PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM PAGE C-4 O P C I T COURTESY OF THE PARK CITY FILM SERIES Stanley Kubrick brought Anthony Burgess’ ultra-violent book “A Clockwork Orange” to the big screen only to have it banned in England in 1973. 2 1 1 FOR P O A C H E S T E R N E C T A R P A I M A A N E S M E A T E L E T W I T H A V I A R E N T M S G M H I T O I N A D C E L E K R I L S T A L E R A D A S H M E I J A M C E B O T O R R M O D P A K O L E I L L S K E E M A Y O S A L D O U B O A N A R M I S A Y E B O H L S I E S T G O F A R A E S O P E E L S E T T E A T E W N S T A Y O U C T I K I S O S I C N A T T T L E O L D O P S T H I S R O N I A L B V E R Y E A L Z I N S K I R O L O B E I U A T E E R E D Exclusive.
