KATHRYN BIGELOW IN PERSON

Double Feature

DETROIT, 2017, Annapurna Distribution, 143 min. Dir. Kathryn Bigelow. From the Academy Award-winning director of THE HURT LOCKER, this immersive drama tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967. John Boyega, Will Poulter and Algee Smith lead the film’s superb ensemble cast. “Bigelow, working from a script by her regular collaborator Mark Boal (it’s their first film since ZERO DARK THIRTY), has created a turbulent, live-wire panorama of race in America that feels like it’s all unfolding in the moment, and that’s its power.” - Owen Gleiberman, Variety

THE HURT LOCKER, 2009, Summit Entertainment, 131 min. Dir. Kathryn Bigelow. Bringing together realistic action and intimate human drama, this landmark film won six Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. In the summer of 2004, Sergeant Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Eldridge (Brian Geraghty) are part of a small counterforce trained to handle Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), a high-pressure job that leaves no room for mistakes. When Staff Sergeant James (Jeremy Renner) takes over the team, Sanborn and Eldridge are shocked by his reckless disregard for military protocol and basic safety measures, and it seems only a matter of time before disaster strikes. Co-starring Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Evangeline Lilly and Guy Pearce.
