30th Anniversary screening
When the town of Blaine, MO, approaches its sesquicentennial, there's only one way to celebrate: with a musical revue called Red, White and Blaine. Hoping the show will be his ticket back to Broadway, impresario Corky St. Clair (Christopher Guest) rounds up a cast of enthusiastic locals—portrayed by Eugene Levy, Parker Posey, Fred Willard, and the late, great Catherine O'Hara—to perform his ostensibly toe-tapping triumph. But when Corky reveals that theater agent Mort Guffman will attend the opening, things really kick into high gear.
Screening to commemorate its 30th anniversary, this essential satire from director Guest (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) blends comic absurdism, improvisation, and deadpan genius into a marvel of mockumentary.
Screening on 35mm.
