Film Series second Mondays in June, July and August: June 11th: Basquiat (Julian Schnabel) July 9th: Leaning into the Wind (Thomas Riedelsheimer) August 13th: Frida (Julie Taymor) JUNE 11TH: BASQUIAT Despite living a life of extreme poverty in Brooklyn, graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (Jeffrey Wright) strives to rise up through the heady New York art scene of the 1970s and 1980s. He becomes the brightest star of neo-Expressionist painting and one of the most successful painters of his time, and even develops a friendship with Andy Warhol (David Bowie). But Basquiat's tumultuous life, specifically his addiction to heroin, overshadows his rise to fame, threatening all. $10 ticket donations will help fund Elsewhere Studios: an artist-in-residence program committed to creating a supportive environment for national and international creative thinkers and makers in Paonia, Colorado. http://www.elsewherestudios.org/ http://paradiseofpaonia.com/
