[Press release from Akron Film + Pixel Festival.]
On December 27th, Akron Film+Pixel will begin bringing
current critically acclaimed films to Akron on a regular basis.
“We're filling a gap for 'arthouse' cinema,” says Akron Film+Pixel
Film Curator Tim Peyton. “Cleveland has the Cinematheque and Cedar
Lee Theatre, but until now there's been no place in Akron to see new
festival films on the big screen, with an audience.”
The first film in the series is festival hit TABU. This
surrealistic love story about a dying woman’s secret past, inspired
by early Hollywood adventure films, is landing on many critics’
best-of lists for 2012. Akron Film+Pixel will bring TABU to the
Akron Art Museum on December 27th for its first public screening in
Northeast Ohio.
The classic film series “Film Club” will also continue in
partnership with the Akron-Summit County Main Library, Summit
Artspace and Akron Art Museum. The first selection of the New Year
is often referred to as one of the greatest films in the history of
cinema: Jean Renoir’s social satire THE RULES OF THE GAME. It will
be screened and followed by group discussion at the Main Library on
January 31st.
Attending the Films
TABU is showing at the Akron Art Museum at 6:30 pm on December 27th.
THE RULES OF THE GAME will be shown at the Akron-Summit County Main
Library at 6:30 pm on January 31st. Both screenings are free and
seats are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
