Second Friday Cinema: "September 30, 1955"
This month’s featured film is "September 30, 1955".
Starring Richard Thomas and Lisa Blount, the film is about an Arkansas teen's fascination with his film idol James Dean, and his reaction to the news of Dean’s death in a car wreck. The movie, set in 1950s small-town Arkansas, was written and directed by Arkansan James Bridges. "September 30, 1955" is one of Bridges’s more personal films and is in contrast with his more well-known films which include "The China Syndrome", "Urban Cowboy" and "Bright Lights, Big City."
Ben Fry, general manager of KLRE/KUAR and coordinator of the film minor at UALR, will introduce the film and lead a discussion after the screening.
