The Robinson Film Center is going to be beginning, says Chris Jay, a semi-monthly series of one night-only film screenings at the Louisiana Boardwalk Regal Cinemas in Bossier City. It begins Thur, Nov. 2 at 7:30 PM. The series is going to be called “RFC Presents,” and will bring in "one major, buzzed-about indie film per month that would not otherwise play in Shreveport-Bossier City."

Kicking things off, says Jay, is “HALF NELSON,” starring Ryan Gosling as Dan Dunne, an inner-city history teacher who must overcome his own personal crisis to help a star pupil make a decision that will change her life. The film has raised an Oscar buzz for Gosling. And the trailer can be seen at www.halfnelsonthefilm.com.

The soundtrack was composed for the film by a band that I love, says the RFC's music man, called Broken Social Scene. The film is rated R, but Jay calls it "a rare, powerful film that you will talking about and thinking about long after you leave the theatre."
