Kilgore film festival

By Michele Marcotte | Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 04:22 PM

Julian Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”— a film that takes audiences inside the world of French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby — has been hailed by several critics as an exceptional film. New York Times film critic A.O Scott wrote in his review,
“… (Schnabel) demonstrates his own imaginative freedom in every frame and sequence, dispensing with narrative and expository conventions in favor of a wild, intuitive honesty.”

“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” is just one of six acclaimed films that will be shown this month at the 2008 Kilgore Spring Film Festival. The festival kicks off at 6:30 p.m. April 16 with a wine and cheese reception in the lobby of 4 Star Cinema, followed by a screening of “The Savages,” which stars Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The films will run at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. nightly through May 8. Additional matinee shows will run at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Here’s the lineup.

• The Savages April 16-19

• The Diving Bell and the Butterfly April 20-22

• Persepolis April 23-26

• In Bruges April 27-29

• Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a Day April 30 - May 3
