Cultural Council Meeting Minutes August 16, 2012 Page 2 of 4 Mission at Old Town Cinema, is to work with other arts groups such as Art Underground and the Colorado Film Society to create a space where thoughtful films can be seen as a community. With each screening, we provide pre- and post -film programming that includes talkbacks with guest speakers, and often the filmmakers themselves. Her goal is to kick start an old time theater with 4 screenings this fall at the Steinbach Pavilion with the showing of Rails, a haunting tale of friendship and secrets, September 29. The OTC would like to do more than the 4 screenings. Other venues would be the community park in the summer and possibly the Arts Center in the winter. The films selected attract a lot of people to come see high quality and less played independent and art -house films that they didn't get to see because the movie wasn't in the theatre long. Denice to check if there is an ordinance for sound because movie would be after 8 pm at the Steinbaugh Pavilion. And If the LCC could participate, then we might be able to allow the cinema to use the Pavilion at no charge. Budget expense: $1200 - $1600 per show i.e. film rights. • Carolyn Bosshard, The Art Underground.
