We have come to that bittersweet time of year, especially true this year. Coming up is our final weekend until Christmas. Chris and I are looking forward to a few weeks in tropical climes over Thanksgiving, and when we return, we will be making the transition from a 35mm film establishment to a fully Digital projection venue. We will be retaining our 35mm equipment, but it is likely that most every film you see starting in December when we reopen will be 0s and 1s. Therefore, this weekend will be the final hurrahs for our trusty and long-serving Simplex Projectors :-( . We expect this upgrade will allow us to get our choice of film (maybe sooner?) and at least stay in business (the ultimate goal)! We will reopen "for the season" Friday Dec 27.
Next Tuesday evening (11/5) we will be showing silly films, playing video games, finishing off the food in the kitchen and celebrating another successful year.....starting around 6pm until Chris and Colin get tired (or everyone else leaves!) If you would like to stop by, we would love to see you.
We are selling gift certificates (any even $$ amount), Big Tickets ($55) and One Shot Passes ($6) for holiday giving. Colin will be staffing the office while we are away, and I will take over upon our return in early Dec. Email me or <info@reelpizza.net>, or leave a message on the (207) 288-3828 line or mail a check with your order (to PO Box 625 Bar Harbor 04609), and one or the other of us will take care of you.
For another year, we are sponsors of the ABBE Museum's Native American Film Festival, which this year focuses on the changing representation of Native people in film, specifically as Native writers, actors and directors gain more control over telling their own stories. The next free screening is Thursday Nov 7 at 7pm at the Abbe, of the film THUNDERHEART, based on actual events on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, as an FBI agent with Sioux background comes to the reservation to help with a murder investigation. On Thursday December 5th at 7pm the film will be MORE THAN FRYBREAD which showcases Native storytelling in a mockumentary style with an all Native cast and crew about the convening of all 22 recognized AZ tribes for the first ever Arizona Frybread Championship.
he Abbe's annual film series will focus on the changing representation of Native people in film, specifically as Native writers, actors, and directors gain more control over telling their own stories. The second film, Thunderheart, does a better job of capturing difficult Native history and stories from the perspective of Native voice. - See more at: http://www.abbemuseum.org/calendar/november.html#sthash.8qMiINOT.dpuf
