January 15,2014
Inspired by the ‘cinematheque’ concept, Arthouse Fort Worth (ArthouseFW) will bring a weekly schedule of screenings between both venues.
FORT WORTH, Texas—January 15, 2014—The Lone Star Film Society (LSFS), in partnership with the Modern Art Museum and Kimbell Art Museum, is pleased to announce the launch of ArthouseFW. The inaugural spring season will begin on January 31, 2014 with a screening of John Carpenter’s ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
The screening, which will feature a high definition digital print of the film, will take place as part of the Cinemuse Series, celebrating the collaborations of director John Carpenter and actor Kurt Russell. Cinemuse is one of four series within the ArthouseFW initiative. The screening is also a part of Lone Star Late Night at The Modern, during which The Modern bar will stay open until 10:00 PM so audiences can grab a drink before the film rolls. The other three series in the ArthouseFW program include the Auteur Series, which features the work of Luis Buñuel; the Samurai Series, including major selections from the classic Samurai genre to complement the Kimbell’s armor exhibition; and Silent Sundays, featuring major works from the silent era with live musical accompaniment. Screenings at the Kimbell will take place in the auditorium of the celebrated new Renzo Piano Pavilion.
