Grab your 3-D glasses and head for the Lynwood Theatre on Saturday, February 8, and Sunday, February 9, for the fifth annual Celluloid Bainbridge Film Festival.

This year's star attraction is a 6:30 p.m. screening of the 1953 3-D science fiction classic It Came from Outer Space, introduced by Bainbridge Island resident Russell Johnson, best known as the Professor from Gilligan's Island, who costars as a county lineman kidnapped by aliens. Directed by Jack Arnold and based on a story by Ray Bradbury, It Came from Outer Space was ground-breaking in its day for both its special effects and its theme of the lone scientist facing a great evil that no one else believes. There will be a limited number of 3-D glasses available at the theatre. To make your own (it's easy!), see the right colum -->

Celluloid Bainbridge is an all-day festival of films and videos that were either filmed on Bainbridge Island or feature a Bainbridge Islander in the cast or crew. This year's mix includes documentaries on Native American issues and on Bainbridge Island history, shorts from Bainbridge students in film schools around the country, children's animation projects, a sneak preview of the Garrett Bennett feature, A Relative Thing, filmed on Bainbridge this past fall, and more.

There is a special showing on Saturday, February 8, of two documentaries dealing with Native American issues, both of which will include post-film discussions with the filmmakers. Boomtown: The Fourth of July in Indian Country (9:00 a.m.), which originally aired as a PBS Point of View program in July 2002, explores the cultural and economic issues behind the Suquamish Tribe's annual Fourth of July fireworks sale. Boomtown filmmaker Bryan Gunnar Cole grew up on Bainbridge Island and now lives and works in New York City.

Kennewick Man: An Epic Drama of the West (10:45 a.m.), documents the ongoing controversy between the U.S. Government, Native American tribes, and the scientific community for control of the 9,500 year-old human remains found on federal land. Filmmakers Ryan Purcell and Kyle Carver will be on hand to discuss the latest developments in the case, which is still winding its way through the courts. Kennewick Man was shown at the 2001 Seattle International Film Festival, the Native American Film Festival, and the Detroit Documentary Film Festival. 

The festival on Sunday, February 9, hits the ground running at 10 a.m. with Triathlon 2002: One Perfect Race, a documentary of highlights from the Northwest 2002 triathlon season by Bainbridge sports filmmaker Kevin Lynch. It is followed by several family and children oriented entries, then by a group of student filmmaker productions, and finally by entries from more established filmmakers, with historical documentaries scattered throughout the day.

Saturday, February 8, 10:45 a.m. Kennewick Man: An Epic Drama of the West. 2001. Documentary. 86 minutes.

Make Your Own 3-D Glasses!

1. Buy one sheet each of blue and red cellophane (available at Paper Products, Etc. in downtown Winslow).

2. Trace the glasses template below onto a piece of light cardboard. You can add extensions to the ends to go over your ears or use string or elastic to hold the glasses on.

3. Cut out a square of each of the blue and red cellophane large enough to fit over the glasses holes.

4. Paste the squares onto the inside of the glasses and trim if necessary. Make sure the red square is on the left side (as you are looking at the glasses) and the blue square is on the right side. Thus, when you put the glasses on, the red square will be over your right eye, and the blue square over your left eye. That's it!

Sunday, February 9, 6:30 p.m. It Came from Outer Space. 1953. 3-D Feature. 80 minutes.

Celluloid Bainbridge is co-sponsored by The Historic Lynwood Theatre, Silver Screen Video, Island Movies, and by equipment sponsors Paper Products Etc. and the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island.
