Clifton Esquire Theater
Screenings at 2 pm and 7 pm; reception 4:30-6:30 PM
Eric Zala & Chris Strompolos were 12 when they began making their shot-by-shot re-creation of Raiders of the Lost Ark. They finished 7 years later. Their unique resourcefulness has yielded an entertaining & inspiring film that is a favorite of film festivals & has drawn praise from Spielberg. See a sneak peak @ www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/?cid=187535. Despite publicity by Turner Classic Movies, The Today Show, & Vanity Fair, the film has been seen by few audiences. Copyright issues force Zala & Strompolos to be selective where they show the film. They also require that proceeds support non-profit orgs. All proceeds for this screening benefit Clifton Town Meeting, devoted to maintaining & improving the eclectic Clifton neighborhood. Clifton Town Meeting presents the Cincinnati premier of this full-length feature film for 1 day only. Mr. Strompolos will introduce the film & take questions after each screening. Ticketholders are invited to a reception. Tickets are $20 for adults; $10 for kids under 16. Screenings @ Esquire Theatre, 320 Ludlow Avenue; reception @ Ludlow Garage, 342 Ludlow Avenue; both in Cincinnati, OH 45220.
