The Artist<br />
Friday, July 13<br />
In the 1920s, actor George<br />
Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a<br />
bona fide matinee idol with<br />
many adoring fans. While<br />
working on his latest film,<br />
George finds himself falling in<br />
love with an ingénue named<br />
Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo)<br />
and, what’s more, it seems<br />
Peppy feels the same way. But<br />
George is reluctant to cheat<br />
on his wife with the beautiful<br />
young actress. The growing<br />
popularity of sound in movies further separates the potential<br />
lovers, as George’s career begins to fade while Peppy’s star rises.<br />
The Artist tells the story of their interlinked destinies. This film<br />
won five Academy Awards including Best Picture. John Goodman,<br />
James Cromwell and Penelope Ann Miller star in this film. It is<br />
rated PG and the run time is 1 hour and 40 minutes.<br />
Only $1 includes popcorn soft drinks and a movie on the big<br />
screen in the Social Hall. Reservations are accepted up to 48<br />
hours in advance at the Box Office.
Canyon Town Center<br />
All events are free admission with festival seating. Bring a<br />
