Utah Film Center Schedule through Dec 1

Friday, November 11 – 7 pm
BLANK CITY
Directed by Celine Danhier
Today, Manhattan is a byword for overpriced property, overexposed landmarks and overdressed fashionistas. In the late 70s, however, it was rat-infested, crime-crippled, cheap and nasty environment where that fueled the creative spirit of the music, film, art and fashion scenes.

TREE OF LIFE
From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as  "Badlands", "Days of Heaven" and "The Thin Red Line", "The Tree of Life" is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s. The  film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the  innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to  reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack  (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the  modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while  questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery,  we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our  lives as individuals and families, but all life.

Thursday, November 17 - 7:00 PM
Star Hall - 159 E. Center St., - Moab
INTO ETERNITY
Finland has decided to bury its nuclear waste several kilometres  underground in a facility called Omika (hiding place).
