Starz FilmCenter: Join the Tattered Cover Book Store, UCD’s College of Arts & Media, Colorado Public Radio, and the Starz FilmCenter for an exploration of the world of classic movies, hosted by Colorado Public Radio film critic Howie Movshovitz at the Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli. All programs begin at 7:00 pm at the Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli. Admission is free, but tickets are required from the box office. Tickets are available one hour before screening. Validated parking is avilable in the parking lot directly in front of the Tivoli. This month we’ll feature the 1934 King Vidor classic Our Daily Bread. In the depths of The Great Depression, a young, naïve city couple are given an abandoned farm by a rich uncle. To make it work, they must recruit a cross-section of America. In a number of his films (The Big Parade, The Crowd), Vidor had interesting ideas about the relationship between individuals and their society. He was also a master of grand sequences—as when the frantic inexperienced farmers dig the emergency irrigation ditch. The print will be a fine 35mm restoration preceded by a brief, filmed interview with Vidor.
