It's a night you won't want to miss! Metrograph will be showing several other films cut by Dede Allen throughout March including a screening of George Roy Hill’s Slap Shot on the 16th. (Separate admission.) Directed by George Roy Hill and based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five tells the tale of Billy Pilgrim who has mysteriously become unstuck in time and goes on an uncontrollable trip back and forth from his birth in New York to life on a distant planet and back again to the horrors of the 1945 fire-bombing of Dresden. Slaughterhouse-Five premiered at the 25th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize and was nominated for the Palme d'Or. The film also won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film. Save the date! Tickets will be on sale soon!
