KCET Cinema Series - Summer 2010

KCET's thrice-yearly screening series is back! Join us as we preview eight major new films prior to their first run local release.

Hosted by nationally recognized film expert Pete Hammond, the KCET Cinema series allows you to review the best of Hollywood, independent and foreign films Tuesday nights at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. A lively Q & A follows each screening with the filmmakers and top movie talent.

June 15 is our opening night, featuring Cyrus. This series will also include Love Ranch, based on the real life story of Grace and Charlie Bontempo, who opened the first brothel in Nevada. We'll also be showing Get Low, based on the life of a hermit who lived for forty years in the Tennessee woods.

We have added two new ways you can sign-up for the series and reserve your seats. We've included limited "reserve seating," so you don't have to rush to the theatre to get a good seat. You can also reserve the Academy's private "Green Room" for the entire series.

Please don't delay in purchasing your membership for the Summer KCET Cinema Series, which runs Tuesday evenings, June 15, 22, 29, July 6, 13, 20, 27 and August 3. Screenings start at 7:00 pm. For ordering information, please call 747.201.5800.

The July 6th film is The Kids are All Right:

A fictional story loosely based on the real life account of Grace and Charlie Bontempo, the husband and wife team who opened the first brothel in Nevada. The film stars, Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci as the Botempos, and is directed by Mirren's husband, award-winning director Taylor Hackford. A film with lots of romance, sizzle, passion and murder.
