Film Series Event:

The Band's Visit (2007)

Monday, June 29, 2009 · 8pm

Dragonfly Theater & Pub

Boone, North Carolina

Sponsored by Footsloggers Outdoor & Travel Outfitters

Rated PG-13
Subtitled
Running time: 86 mins.

This multiple award-winning film tells the story of an Egyptian police band that gets lost on the way to play at an initiation ceremony at the Arab Cultural Center in Israel. When they are left stranded at the airport, the band tries to make their way on their own—only to find themselves in the heart of the Israeli desert. A fascinating crosscultural exploration that begins with a lost band in a lost town.

The Magic of Motion Pictures
Since the first motion pictures, films have been integral to how we experience the world. Films draw us into another world through a magical connection that can lead to understanding, self-realization, heartbreak, joy and pure entertainment. An Appalachian Summer Festival first presented a film series in 2008, and invites you to, once again, give in to the magic of the movies as we present, through these films, four distinct experiences that connect us with our world.
