Foreign Movie Night: “Bandits”

Thursday, February 18, 2010

5:00 PM

Location: Wilson Chapel

Foreign movie nights feature films produced in the native countries of Andover Newton international students. The screening is followed by a potluck dinner.

Tonight’s feature is from Germany: Inka Scherhans’ “Bandits,” a face-paced rock-and-roll road movie about the exploits of a female band on the run.

Four women behind bars with nothing in common except their love for rock music form a jailhouse band as part of their rehabilitation.

On the night of their first gig at a police banquet, the women overpower a sadistic guard and escape into the night. An agent, who had originally rejected their demo, launches their tape onto the public and overnight they become media sensations. As the rebels become more successful than their wildest dreams, the police step up their hot pursuit. But it’s hard to keep a low profile when your music and video are everywhere.

This event is open to everyone; no admissions fee. Please bring a dish to share!
