Noon - Will Digital Cinema Mean the Re-birth of Regional Cinema?
Location: Discovery World, 500 N. Harbor Drive
Ticket Cost: Admission to the screening of The Whole Shootin’ Match required.
The Whole Shootin’ Match (1978, Eagle Pennell) is one of the seminal regional films of the American independent film movement. Made in Texas on weekends for $25,000, it was praised on release and inspired Robert Redford to start the Sundance Institute. However, since the advent of Sundance, the appropriate term “regional” has been replaced by the more generic “independent.” This panel will explore the restoration and digital cinema distribution of The Whole Shootin’ Match, while asking the question, “What happened to the regional film movement in America?”
