Join us for this special fundraiser screening of Peter Bogdanovich's THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. The proceeds from your $25 ticket will go towards our relocation, plus you'll get to see a beautiful restoration of an American classic.
One of the key films of the American seventies cinema renaissance, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is set in the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville to ever dust up a movie screen. This aching portrait of a dying West, adapted from Larry McMurtry’s novel, focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens—enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), and desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybill Shepherd)—and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds. Featuring evocative black-and-white imagery and profoundly felt performances, this hushed depiction of crumbling American values remains the pivotal work in the career of invaluable film historian and director Peter Bogdanovich.
