BOZEMAN FILM SOCIETY
On Saturday, March 4 at 2 and 5 p.m. at The Ellen Theatre, Bozeman Film Society opens its 2017 Science on Screen series with a free screening of the visually spectacular “Dream Big: Engineering Our World.”
“Dream Big” is the first film of its kind to promote the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) movement. Told through the eyes of four engineers, “Dream Big” takes viewers on a journey of discovery, from the world’s tallest building and a bridge higher than the clouds to a solar car race across Australia, underwater robots and smart, sustainable cities in a celebration of human ingenuity.
Directed by two-time Academy Award-nominee MacGillivray Freeman, and narrated by Montana’s own Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges, this all-ages event is a unique opportunity to turn kids on to science and engineering. “I am a believer in encouraging our youth to make a difference in the world, and ‘Dream Big’ encourages young people to do just that,” Bridges said.
Both “Dream Big” screenings will open with “The Art of Problem Solving,” a lively introduction by KLJ Engineer Shari Eslinger, Vice-President of American Society of Civil Engineers Montana Section, and Dr. Michael Berry of the Montana State University Civil Engineering Department.
Eslinger and Berry will shed light on how much the everyday pieces of your life are affected by the innovation of an engineer, and will share their personal stories of what it means to be an engineer. After both screenings, join MSU engineering students upstairs in the Ellen Theatre ballroom for fun hands-on projects. Attendees can also check out an award-winning robot built for the NASA Robotic Mining Competition.
At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 15, BFS presents the warmly comedic film, “20th Century Women,” starring Annette Bening, at The Ellen Theatre. Set in Santa Barbara, “20th Century Women” follows Dorothea Fields, a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann) at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion—1979.
Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women in Jamie’s upbringing— Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a free-spirited punk artist living as a boarder in the Fields’ home, and Julie (Elle Fanning), a savvy and provocative teenage neighbor.
The film is a poignant love letter to the people who raise us—and the times that form us—as this makeshift family forges fragile connections that will mystify and inspire them through their lives. Written and directed by Mike Mills (“Thumbsucker,” “Beginners”), this film is a moving celebration of women as pioneers, protectors, and valuable role models, garnering Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
Tickets for “20th Century Women” are available at theellentheatre.com or in person at the box office. Visit bozemanfilmsociety.org for more information.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
