A HEARTFELT thanks to all the Film Scene readers who came out to the Savannah Cultural Arts Center for last week’s debut installment of the Double-Vision Film Series, jointly curated and presented by the Psychotronic Film Society and CinemaSavannah and co-sponsored by Connect Savannah. That sneak preview of the soon-to-be-released British-made revenge thriller “A Good Woman is Hard to Find” was a rough and tough experience that delivered quite a whallop to the more than 150 audience members in attendance, and left most of them heatedly debating the film’s provocative and violent, female-led storyline afterwards – which is always the sign of a worthwhile motion picture.
WELCOME BACK to another Film Scene – the area’s only weekly preview of all the noteworthy "alternative cinema" events taking place in and around these parts. We begin with an important announcement: contrary to what was written in last week’s column and due to unexpected scheduling conflicts, the Psychotronic Film Society’s next two weekly Wednesday night installments of their long-running and award-winning series of underappreciated feature films from around the globe have been cancelled – however those selections will still be shown, just at a later date.
FIRST OFF, allow me to sincerely thank all the readers of this column who came out this past Sunday night to the Sentient Bean Coffeeshop to attend the debut installment of my new First-Run Film Series. It was a small crowd, but between the admission fees and the raffle tickets we sold before the screening for door prizes, we made just enough money to break even on our operating costs for the night.
Included in this year’s lineup are films like The Keeper, which tells the true story of Bert Trautmann, a German soldier who becomes a football star in post-war Britain
