Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment - even a wife. But before long, Andreas notices that something is wrong. Andreas makes an attempt to escape the city, but he discovers there's no way out. Andreas meets Hugo, who has found a crack in a wall in his cellar. Beautiful music streams out from the crack. Maybe it leads to "the other side"? A new plan for escape is hatched. [More]

La Vie En Rose - Friday 12/21/07

Ouray Movie Club Kickoff Feature
Doors: 6 p.m.
Showtime: 6:30 p.m.
La Vie En Rose
Sylvie Testud, Gerard Depardieu, Jean-Paul Rouve
HBO Films; Directed by Olivier Dahan
Rated PG-13; 140 minutes; 2007


From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, legendary French singer Edith Piaf's life is explored in this biopic. Raised in poverty, Edith's magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the biggest stars of the period made her a star all around the world known as the Little Sparrow. But her attempts to tame her tragic destiny resulted in her untimely death. In French and English with English subtitles.

"Hurtling and impassioned, driven by some of the greatest popular music ever recorded, this wildly overripe and unkempt biopic is a true experience."

Bonfire, Jazz, and a Film

You are invited to stop by the Opera House before each Ouray Movie Club screening and socialize from 6 to 6:30 p.m.

On 12/21 we'll feature a classy DJ mix of european style jazz (including the music of Edith Piaf). And, before you head over to the Opera House, be sure to attend the annual Community Bonfire on Sixth Ave, starting at 5 pm, featuring chili, pizza, and good cheer. Its part of a Ouray Holiday.

Movie Club Clarification

There has been much confusion on the streets of Ouray, the Ouray Movie Club is not the same as the Friday Night Movie Club. The Friday Night Club is being run by the Ouray Entertainment Company and is not affiliated with us. We will continue to show the best in film festival, independent, and award winning movies at the Opera House, twice a month, starting on or about January 2008.

Theatre of the Mind

Before film there was radio, "theatre of the mind." You are invited to experience "War of the Worlds." The classic Halloween radio drama will air tonight at 7 pm on 98.9 FM KURA. The War of the Worlds was first performed as a Halloween radio special on October 30, 1938. The original broadcast made history in when it was mistaken for an actual news broadcast and panic ensued.

If you enjoy radio drama, stay tuned; KURA plans to air Ouray's own homegrown adaption of "A Christmas Carol", to be broadcast live from the Wright Opera House. More info on this event is forthcoming.

KURA broadcasts from the Ouray School. Daytime programming and community bulletin boards are managed by our students at the Ouray School. I'm working on keeping the dinner time jazz (5-7 pm) and evening Rock and Roots shows rolling and helping out some of our community DJs.

Winter Movies Return to Ouray

The re-opening of the historic Wright Opera House is not only cause for celebration, it is also the perfect venue for enjoying artsy/edgy/fun award winning movies through the winter months in Ouray.

We are working on an incredible lineup of award winning movies including independent festival selections that you won't be able to find on DVD. It's like having a film festival all winter long in Ouray.

We've been working with Kevin and Mel at Ouray Entertainment to get a great sound system and screen in place. Ethan Funk is donating the use of his incredible high def. DLP projector. Kevin and Mel are working to get rid of those old seats and get some new comfy seating. All in all, it should be an incredible venue for watching movies and socializing.
