' ‘Starlight Cinema’ takes film outside ■ UO Cultural Forum begins a weekly film series on Friday, showing classic films on the lawn of the Knight Library By Ryan Bornheimer for the Emerald Students will soon be able to combine the image of James Dean speeding across the screen in a 1950s dragster with the fresh air of a spring evening. To celebrate the arrival of warmer temperatures, the UO Cultural Forum is sponsoring “Starlight Cinema,” a weekly film series running classic Hollywood films outdoors. The series will run every Friday on an outdoor screen in front of Knight Library. Ad mission is free, and the movies will begin at dusk. In the event of rain, films will be shown in 180 PLC. Although the Cultural Forum holds movie screenings throughout the year, they usually take place in lecture halls. The “Starlight” series offers an unique experience, said Cultural Forum Film Coordinator Toussaint Perrault, who came up with the idea. “I was interested in doing some thing a little different. The idea of showing these movies in an outdoor setting seemed appropriate to the time of year,” he said. “I wanted something like the old drive-ins.” And the movies themselves rein force the nostalgic concept, he said. From now until the end of spring term, students can catch everything from the teenage angst and drag rac ing of “Rebel Without a Cause” to a knife-wielding cross-dresser in Al fred Hitchcock’s classic “Psycho,” all while kicking back under the stars on a spring evening. “These are all classic Hollywood films that have important artistic val ue, but they are also fun movies with mainstream appeal,” Perrault said. Perhaps it’s no accident that the series begins Friday, the same day that Hollywood’s own summer movie season officially kicks off with the release of “Spider-Man.” But moviegoers aren’t likely to ‘Starlight’ schedule The movies, including the feature attraction and the American Avant Garde short preceding each film, wil! begin at dusk. Friday, May 3: ‘Sunset Boulevard’ with ‘What is a Man?’ Friday, May 10: ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ with Fireworks’ Friday, May 24: ‘Casablanca’ with ‘Centuries of June' Friday, May 31: ‘Night of the Hunter with Towers Open Fire’ Friday, June?: ‘Psycho’ with ‘Meshes in the Afternoon’ SOURCE: UO Cultural Forum catch picnickers at the local cine plex — as you may in front of Knight Library. Though glass bot tles, dogs, drugs and alcohol are prohibited, people are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs. Media Services television pro ducer Michael }. Majdic said the outdoor setting offers a great alter native to watching movies in a dark ened room, but he wonders if all the movies are suitable for the venue. “The idea seems great for light weight, campy films like ‘Rebel,’ but ‘Night of the Hunter’ and ‘Sun set Boulevard’ are pretty heavy, se rious films,” Majdic said. In addi tion to the features themselves, each will be preceded by an Amer ican Avant-Garde short film, roughly 10 minutes in length. Eu gene Weekly film critic Lois Wadsworth especially likes the fact that audiences can experience both classic movies and these lit tle-seen selections. “I love the notion of running this collection of unique shorts with main stream Hollywood classics. It’s a truly original idea,” she said. Wadsworth loves the concept of showing movies outside and is reminded of her own visits to the drive-ins. “There’s something very roman tic about watching movies outside.” Ryan Bornheimerisa freelance reporter for the Emerald. Bigfoot continued from page 7 “There was something incredibly eerie about it,” she said. The experience remained in grained in her memory, and when she was 16, she began doing formal research and fieldwork on Bigfoot. Twelve years later, she is a privately funded researcher whose goal is to develop trust and rapport with the creatures and study them in their natural habitat. Her work has cul minated in the www.oregonbig foot.com Web site. — AlixKerl Behind Bradford’s 942 Olive Street • Free Parking Closed Tuesdays 343-9000 S ®
