Louisville Film Society Presents: Hillbillies in Hollywood

We welcome Dennis Nyback and his unique collection of 16mm films on May 20th. There will be a QA following each screening.

The Effects of Dada and Surrealism on Hollywood at 7 PM
Hollywood took Dada and Surrealism and cheerfully dumped them into American movies with no explanation or framing devices in the early 1930s. This program shows great examples of films that jumped on the Dada and Surrealism bandwagon to delight and mystify viewers reeling from the Great Depression.

Hillbillies in Hollywood at 9 PM
Alternate title: "The Incredibly Strange Country, Western, and Rockabilly Film Show". Great music from 1927 to 1964, from the justly famous (Bob Wills, Jimmie Rogers, Spike Jones) to the unjustly forgotten (Hank Fort, Smoky Rogers, the Korn Kobblers), and many, many others.
