Hometown Heroes
Tonight:
The Northwest Film Forum is showing "45365" this week. It's a movie about the tiny town of Sidney, Ohio, made by two brothers who are nostalgic for it—basically a collage of high-school football games and midwest sunsets. Its greatness transcends its nostalgia, like old cars or rock songs with saxophone solos.
This trailer will give you the idea.
Also, watching a quiet, labor-of-love film on the Northwest Film Forum's tiny screens always feels exactly right.
Friday night and through next week, at the Northwest Film Forum (1515 12th Avenue), at 7 pm and 9 pm. Tickets are $9.
Tomorrow:
