Bismarck-Mandan's 2005 Cinema 100 fall film series - five movies for $10 - starts Thursday and the theme is music.
Three documentaries and two dramatic films give a glimpse into the lives of folk singer Woody Guthrie, musician Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols, Pink Floyd and The Band, and one movie explores the Los Angeles dance phenomenon called krumping.
The first movie, to be shown Thursday, is called "DiG!" The 2004 film tracks the tumultuous rise of Newcombe and Taylor. The movie dissects their star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry.
Oct. 13's movie is "Bound for Glory,"a 1976 biography about Woody Guthrie who left his dust-devastated Texas home in the 1930s to find work.
Oct. 20's movie is a 1982 British film, "Pink Floyd The Wall." The movie tells the story of rock singer "Pink" and is based on the 1979 double album "The Wall"by Pink Floyd.
Oct. 27's movie is the 1978 "The Last Waltz." Director Martin Scorsese's camera captures off-stage interviews and explores the interactions of The Band onstage in the making of music. The Band's last concert, after 16 years on the road, is included.
Nov. 3's movie is "Rize,"a 2005 U.S. film about the dance phenomenon called krumping and the kids who use it as an alternative to gangs and hustling.
The form their own troupes, paint their faces like warriors and meet rival troupes to hone skills and outperform them.
The films are shown at 3 and 5:30 p.m. at the Grand Theatres, 1486 Interstate Loop. Season membership is $10, which can be bought at the first film.
Tickets for individual films can be bought at the Grand Theatre box office for the regular price of a single film.
