"Tomorrow" - Heartland's Second Program in its Truly Moving Film Series
Like to discuss the best scenes from a movie with your friends and co-workers? If so, join Heartland Film Festival and the Indianapolis Art Center on Sunday, June 12 at 5:00 p.m. for an afternoon of film and discussion. The second program in Heartland's Truly Moving Film Series will feature a special presentation of "Tomorrow." Based on the short story by William Faulkner and starring Robert Duvall, the 1972 black-and-white gem reveals the unlikely love story between a lonely Mississippi farmer and an unexpected house guest. Refreshments and a Q&A session hosted by WIBC's Jeff Pigeon will follow the film screening. Doors open at 4 p.m. General admission tickets will be sold at the door and cost $7, $5 for students and seniors (60 and over). For more information, call 317-464-9405 or visit www.heartlandfilmfestival.org. Limited seating is available.
Heartland created the Truly Moving Film Series to offer movie fans a chance to see and discuss moving films throughout the year. The films will be shown at the Indianapolis Art Center, located at 820 E. 67th Street in Broad Ripple, through a first-time collaboration between the two Indianapolis-based arts organizations. The remaining film series schedule includes Kurosawa's "Ikiru" on Sunday, August 14 and the 1992 Crystal Heart Award winner "Alan and Naomi" on Sunday, November 20. The film series is made possible through contributions from 92.3 WTTS, Exact Target, The Indianapolis Cultural Development Commission and Wallace Construction Inc.
Shot in black and white to convey the feel of the Depression era, "Tomorrow" is a poignant tale based on a short story by William Faulkner and scripted by Academy AwardŽ winner Horton Foote ("To Kill a Mockingbird," "Tender Mercies"). Robert Duvall stars as Jackson Fentry, a young man who leaves his father's farm to work at a local sawmill. Fentry rescues a young pregnant woman, who has been abandoned by her husband and family, and the two fall in love.
