mpls movie screenings: week of may 2

If you're feeling burnt out on the festival, or newscasters pretending like they have information about the death of bin Laden, then you're in luck!  We got a lot of other screenings for you this week:

•Tuesday
-Ne Change Rien @ Trylon; 7:00 & 9:00 (Trylon Premiere Tuesdays).  Here we have a 2009 film from Portuguese director Pedro Costa.  I saw his film Colossal Youth a few years back.  It's pace was probably the slowest I've ever experienced at the movies, but it was a moving and wonderfully captured story.  I'm very excited to see this one.
-Truck Farm @ St Anthony; 7:00 (Sustainability Film Series & Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival).  The directors will be present for this documentary on urban agriculture and the farm that exists in the back of an '86 Dodge pickup.
-Tibet in Song @ The Heights; 7:00.  This documentary on Tibetan song and culture won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance in 2009.

•Wednesday
-Color Me Impressed @ The Woman's Club - 7:00; and @ Trylon on Thursday - 7:00 & 9:30.  Both shows are sold out.  If you can get tickets you'll get to see the director and producer answer questions after the screening of this documentary on Minneapolis 80's rock band The Replacements.  The screening is presented by Sound Unseen.
-Mystery Science Theater 3000 @ Bryant Lake Bowl; 9:30.

•Thursday
-Cat People @ The Heights; 7:30.  I'm not sure if this movie is a classic, a cult classic or possibly both.  This horror film tells the bizarre story of a woman who turns into a cat when aroused.  There's a lot to read into that storyline, but it's also powerful in the way it slowly draws the suspense out of the narrative.
-Outlaw Josey Wales @ Riverview; 7:00 (Clint Eastwood and John Wayne Westerns).  Clint Eastwood seeks revenge.  Well, at least his character does.
-Ming Wong and Phil Collins @ The Walker; 7:30 (Artists' Cinema 2011: Projected Images) Free.  A 90 minute program showing work by both these artists.
