Film Screening / Q&A
Sunday, June 25 at 3:30pm
Members $20 / Public $30
Legendary movie star Jacqueline Bisset comes to the
Cinema Arts Centre for a screening of her new movie, and a post-film Q&A.
In Loren & Rose, a single meal frames this three-act story of
the indelible bond between Loren (Kelly Blatz), a promising filmmaker,
and Rose (Bisset), a storied actress looking to reinvigorate her career. From a
lunch meeting to discuss a possible collaboration grows a years-long friendship
between two people whose love of art, understanding of grief, and faith in
life’s potential guide them through personal and creative hardships. Bisset and
Blatz star with a chemistry that is at once authentic and intoxicating. (USA,
2023, 83 min., color, DCP)
