Shell Lake Arts Center is pleased to announce that it will kick off its Fourth Annual “Art of Film” Film Series later this month with a showing of The Fall hosted by Justin Peck at 7:00PM on Saturday, January 21, at the Center.
The series will run on six different Saturday dates between January 21st and April 1st this year and will feature critically acclaimed films from the United States and around the world, as well as original works from Wisconsin-based filmmakers. Last season’s film series was well attended and organizers have assembled another set of outstanding movies.
This is a great opportunity for film lovers to watch films on a big screen followed immediately with the opportunity to stay and discuss them. Each film will start off with a short introduction, and a conversation will be facilitated following each film. Some of the movies chosen for this Fourth series were not available in area theaters when first released, some were never in wide release, and some are just worth seeing again.
The Center is very fortunate to be able to welcome back Justin Peck, UW-Madison Film Studies graduate, who will be hosting films on January 21, February 4th, and March 4th. Paulette Moore, Filmmaker, and Lecturer-In-Residence at Northland College will host her films To Wisconsin With Love and From Wisconsin With Love on March 11th. Kevin Pontuti, Director/Cinematographer, and UW-Stout Professor will host his film North Passage on March 25th and April 1st will be a showing of Cheeseheads: The Documentary with Director/Writer John Mitchell. More information will be available on the Center's website.
Films begin at 7:00PM and are projected on a 9’ X 16’ screen in the Center’s cafeteria/conference room. There is plenty of seating, but audience members are also welcome to bring their own comfortable, folding chairs if they prefer. Popcorn, snacks, and beverages will be available.
The Arts Center is located at 802 First Street in Shell Lake two blocks off Highway 63. The south doors that face First Street are the entry doors for the Film Series. Admission is by free will donation with a suggested donation of $7 a person.
