RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE

August 17 – 18
RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE
SCREENING: WED 8/17 4:00 & 6:30 & 9:00; THU 8/18 4:00 & 6:30

In the early 1980s, three 11-year-old boys had a dream: to adapt Raiders of the Lost Ark, shot by shot, as a testament to their true fan loyalty. In the super entertaining documentary Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made, their journey is captured in retrospect, as the now grown men chronicle the experience of remaking the ultimate adventure film. Intense dedication, real danger, and frayed nerves and friendships saturate this fascinating tale of true DIY filmmaking, which became a harrowing adventure in itself that stretched on for seven action-packed years. Odie Henderson of Rogerebert.com says, “Raiders! is a love poem to film geeks everywhere, giving them heroes whose own geekdom is a pinnacle of aspiration.”

Dir: Jeremy Coon & Tim Skousen / 2016 / US / 106 min / DCP

Tickets available at box office 30 minutes prior to showtime.
