KILGORE FILM FEST

KILGORE - Fans of independent and foreign films have the opportunity of taking in a va-riety of acclaimed movies at the 2008 Kilgore Spring Film Festival hosted by the 4 Star Cinema in Kilgore, officials announced.

The six-film series is scheduled Wednesday through May 8.

On Wednesday, the 4 Star Cinema will host an opening night wine and cheese reception prior to the 7:30 p.m. screening of the festival's opening film, "The Savages,'' starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The reception begins at 6:30 p.m., with festival regular, Kathy Housby (formerly with Kilgore College's public radio station, KTPB) offering a brief introduction to the festival immediately before the film.

The 2008 Spring Festival offers a wide array of features, including the first animated film to be included in the series, "Persepolis.''

Other highlights include this year's Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film, "The Counterfeiters,'' Julian Schnabel's acclaimed "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,'' and "In Bruges,'' which was the opening night film at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

"It is certainly one of the strongest lineups we've had since the festival's founding in 1997. We are excited by the diversity of this spring's schedule," said Byron Berkley, owner of the 4 Star Cinema.

Showtimes for the three-week festival are 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on weeknights, with the exception of opening night when there will be no matinee. Saturday and Sunday showtimes are 2 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
