A decades old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day, turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer's order and people start turning up dead.
The Grand Cinema is proud to partner with the Tacoma Art Museum for their special screening of the award-winning documentary, A NOT SO STILL LIFE.
Screening at the Tacoma Art Museum, A Not So Still Life peers into the kaleidoscopic mind of Ginny Ruffner, a Seattle artist as beloved for her magnanimous spirit as for her evolving “visual thought experiments.” Experience the full span of Ginny’s fascinating journey, from her childhood in South Carolina to her emergence as a world-renowned artist. Following the screening, hear from Ginny Ruffner, as well as the film’s director Karen Stanton, producer Tom Gorai, and executive producer David Skinner.
A Not So Still Life is a Co-Winner of the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival Golden Space Needle Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary. Visit www.GinnyRuffnerTheMovie.com for more information.
Cost: $15 ($5 for TAM and Grand Cinema members and students), includes museum admission. Pre-registration is recommended and space is limited. Purchase tickets here: https://ticketing.tacomaartmuseum.org/public/show.asp

Filmmakers Rashaad Ernesto Green and Marc Fratello, who each attended screenings of their work in Tacoma last August for the Grand Cinema's inaugural Filmmaker Magazine "25 New Faces of Independent Film" event, have both had films accepted to the Sundance Film Festival later this month.
Green's film at Sundance is his first feature film, Gun Hill Road. Fratello will screen the same startling short film that played in Tacoma, Babyland. The quality of each filmmaker's work is amazing and the Grand Cinema is excited to have had them as guests to our theater.
The "25 New Faces" event will take place again at the Grand this August with a new group of filmmakers. Watch for more details as we approach the spring and summer.
