Description

April 5 - Friday at 7:30 p.m. - Scheduled to show on 35mm film - Onsale for members 2/21 at 1 p.m.; for the general public, 2/28 at 1 p.m. Part of the Solar Eclipse Film Festival.


What it is: Celebrating Franklin's location in the path of totality for this once-in-a-lifetime solar phenomenon, the Solar Eclipse Film Festival brings you the finest in astronomical, solar-oriented cinematic entertainment. Flash Gordon is a 1980s reinterpretation of the classic pulp hero - a football star flung across worlds to fight the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless.


Why we're showing it: With a classic Queen soundtrack and a campy space opera story, Flash Gordon is science fiction at it's most ridiculous (and fun!).
