Actor Ed Harris will appear in person to speak following the Screening of KNIGHTRIDERS. Join us ealier in the day for a mini Renaissance Fair in the Egyptian's Courtyard. Starts at noon.
Double Feature: EXCALIBUR, 1981, Warner Bros., 119 min. Director John Boorman’s retelling of the Arthur legend brings the story of Arthur’s court to life via a series of stunning images and rich performances by, among others, Nicol Williamson, Helen Mirren, Nigel Terry, Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart.
KNIGHTRIDERS, 1981, Taurus, 145 min. Dir. George Romero. George Romero’s most underrated and personal film, a haunting tale of Camelot transposed to a modern-day Pennsylvania renaissance fair, where knights joust on motorcycles. Ed Harris is mesmerizing as the doomed king, Amy Ingersoll is the Guinevere figure, and Gary Lahti stands in for Lancelot. Make-up/effects artist Tom Savini is a standout in a rare acting role.
