The New Trojan Movie House is showing Babette's Feast on their new movie screen on November 2-4.
The Longmont Performing Arts Center, once called Trojan Theater, began housing movies in 1960. It was a tradition that Richard W. Klein kept for 30 years. Later, Klein assisted the Longmont Theatre Company in buying the building and beginning a new tradition of showing live stage productions and movies side-by-side.
The film Babette's Feast is showing just in time for the holiday season. According to Faye Lamb, Longmont Theatre Company president, this film is "a food film and the viewer will probably leave hungry. This film is a joyous story about a good meal healing social divisions and is likely the best feast scene in cinematic history."
The film Babette's Feast was chosen because "we agreed it is the perfect movie before Thanksgiving. Also, the artistic value of the film is in the preparation of the feast. Chefs are artists. Like any other creators, their art has the power to change people. Babette's Feast is a film about the transformation that happens with the gift of a feast that converts the mundane habitation of villagers into a shining paradise. Babette's feast carries her and her guests to another, better world. Babette’s Feast is a good film for people to revisit the transitional aspects of faith, giving back and being thankful," states Lamb.
