Join the Tattered Cover Book Store, UCD’s College of Arts & Media, KUNC 91.5, and the Sie FilmCenter (in the Lowenstein CulturePlex, next door to the Tattered Cover Colfax Avenue) for an exploration of the world of classic movies, hosted by film critic Howie Movshovitz. All programs begin at 1:00 pm.
Tickets: $1.00, and are available one hour before the screening from the box office.
Parking is available in the parking lot off of Elizabeth or Columbine Streets.
About the Film: When Sweetie—Jane Campion’s first feature—screened at Cannes, roughly 2000 film critics were simultaneously outraged, perplexed, disgusted, disturbed and fascinated. It’s the story of two sisters, one thin, trim, unsmiling and disciplined—actually repressed—and the other heavy and nearly feral. In their opposite ways, both act out in an explosion of color and behavior. (99 minutes)

Rob Drabkin
The music of Rob Drabkin is spirited in nature, light from the heart and rocking on the six-string acoustic. The 70’s style afro is as unavoidable as his ubiquitous grin, but it’s his music that’s put him on national tours and landed him sets at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his hometown of Denver, Colorado. Rob and his band have become a force in the live scene, touring nationally as headliners and supporting acts such as John Butler Trio, Trevor Hall and Big Head Todd & The Monsters. Rob’s full band performances are high-energy blending improvisation and rock while retaining an earnest singer/songwriter background.

Welcome to the Dahl House: Matilda
2016-06-11 10:00 - 12:00 | Sie FilmCenter, 2510 East Colfax, Denver, CO, 80206
USA, 1996, 102 Minute Running Time
Saturday, June 11th.
$5 all guests. 6 and under are FREE.
Admission includes FREE Cereal Bar!
Cereal bar begins at 10am, film begins at 10:30am
Based on the book Matilda, by British children’s author Roald Dahl, this film moves the setting from the U.K. to the U.S.; otherwise it follows the original closely. Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is an extremely curious and intelligent little girl who is very different from her low-brow, mainstream parents (Danny DeVito and real-life wife Rhea Perlman), who quite cruelly ignore her. As she grows older, she begins to discover that she has telekinetic powers. Not until a teacher shows her kindness for the first time does she realize that she can use those powers to do something about her sufferings and help her friends as well. Villains from the awful Miss Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), headmistress of her miserable school Crunchem Hall, to her parents and older brother begin to feel her ire. Look for Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) in a small part as an FBI agent investigating Matilda’s shady father.

Kirkland’s mastery of the blues has brought him international recognition for his performances with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Musicians of Nepal, Willie Nelson, Chuck Berry, and national tours with country and Broadway star, Gary Morris.
Kirkland’s musical training and performing began at age 6 in Winterville, Georgia. He learned to sing the blues on the assembly line in Kansas City while working his way through college. Three days after earning his B.A. degree in psychology , his first blues band was born in St. Louis. folk, progressive jazz, and blues. Toss in some classic rock and gypsy swing, and you have an evening filled with musical adventure.
The Delta Sonics music takes a Chicago Blues base and seasons it with Swing, Delta, N’awlins R&B and some early Rock ‘n’ Roll. They were Westword’s best blues band in Denver the last five years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015) and have seven straight nominations.

Mirror Fears
Mirror Fears is dark, dreamy, richly melodic, fun, weird, and harsh. Kate began recording 4-tracks and teaching herself how to use music software at around age 20. As several bands formed and dissolved in the next few years, complete control over her own music became increasingly more appealing. She released her first self-titled EP as Mirror Fears in late 2010, and was just beginning to play out when she met the friends who would become the band Talk All Night. Since 2011, Kate has been enjoying partitioning her time between the two projects. The first full-length Mirror Fears album was finished as new years struck 2012, and following years would bear witness to many performances both in and out of Colorado, multiple releases, and collaboration with artists such as Hollow Press, Time, Doctype, Dangerous Nonsense, and Curta. Lyrically, Mirror Fears explores gender binary deconstruction, the freedom of queerness, Catholic guilt, the contradictory nature of capitalism, the absurdity of self-consciousness, desire, the power of names, and other stuff like scratched CDs, sniper rifles, and bugs. Musically, Mirror Fears is all of the lushness and vibrance of 90’s dark wave combined with modernized industrial IDM electronica.
Church fire
David Samuelson and Shannon Webber form the creative power behind Denver’s “majestic, witchy, up-to-no-good” electronic noisepop duo church fire. Webber’s strange, twitchy and ravishing vocals have complimented Samuelson’s artful darkwave compositions since the group formed in 2012. Sculpted from a sense of balance in opposites – light and dark, soft but aggressive and a spiritual reclamation of the divine feminine – church fire’s fantastical visual and aural creations consistently deliver a live performance like no other.
