‘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’

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.”

“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
