NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art and the Friends of the Visual Arts will present a free, one-night screening of “Icepick to the Moon,” written, edited and directed by Skizz Cyzyk. The screening is at 7 p.m. Friday, March 3, in The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House.
“Icepick to the Moon” is a documentary about musician Fred Lane and the Raudelunas arts collective of Alabama, according to information at IMDb. It is the first film featured in the newly revived Friday Night Film Series made possible in part by a grant from the Center for Applied Research and Rural Innovation at SFA.
“The First Friday Film series was very popular in the community, and we're excited to bring it back,” said Amanda Breitbach, assistant professor of art at SFA and principal investigator for the CARRI grant proposal. “Film professors Bill Arscott and Brad Maule and film historian Ron King have all been very supportive in this effort. We plan to share a variety of films, from classic movies to art house films, documentaries and student work.”
The same CARRI grant will also support the creation of a student docent program at the Cole Art Center, which is SFA’s historic downtown art gallery. It is located at 329 E. Main St. For more information, call (936) 468-1131.
