The Found Footage Festival, the acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos, will make a one-night-only appearance in Columbus this month as part of a 2010 North American tour. Hosts Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, whose credits include The Onion and the Late Show with David Letterman, are excited to present their new lineup of video clips and live comedy at the Drexel East.
The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that compiles more than an hour’s worth of footage from videos that were found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout
the country. Curators Pickett and Prueher host each screening in-person and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.
Tickets to the Found Footage Festival are $10 and are available in advance at http://www.drexel.net/. For more information, call the theatre’s box office at 614-231-1050.
A new documentary based on the Gallup poll of worldwide muslim opinion produced by Alex Kroemer and Michael Wolfe. As part of this groundbreaking six-year project, Gallup conducted tens of thousands of interviews with residents in 35 predominantly Muslim nations, as well as smaller populations in Europe and the USA. The broad extent of the polling has delivered findings for the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims with a plus or minus accuracy of 3% Focused on the issues of Gender Justice, Terrorism, and Democracy –the film presents this remarkable data deftly, showing how it challenges the popular notion that Muslims and the West are on a collision course. Like the research, the film highlights a shared relationship that is based on facts – not fear. A panel discussion will follow the screening.

A SINGLE MAN (R)
Academy Award Nomination for Best Actor: Colin Firth
"One of the Years Best Films!" - Richard Corliss, Time Magazine
Colin Firth gives the performance of a lifetime in the much-anticipated A SINGLE MAN. Renowned designer Tom Ford's impeccably crafted film is based on the Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, Firth plays a British college professor struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim. Julianne Moore co-stars as his best friend and long-ago lover -- one of the only people on the planet who can know all that he is going through. A SINGLE MAN is a romantic story of love interrupted, the isolation that is part of the human condition and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life. Co-starring Mathew Goode and Nicholas Hoult. Official Site

Continuing a tradition that began in 1860 at the private gardens at Buckingham Palace, the Drexel Theatre celebrated the new film, The Young Victoria on January 3rd, with a delightful High Tea featuring fine English tea, and an assortment of scones, jams, sweets and tea sandwiches. This event was highlighted by a special appearance by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Over 120 "loyal" fans attended this event, and the Queen was most pleased with the charming folks who met with her. See the Queen and her guests in a slideshow from the event:
If you missed your opportunity to have Tea with the "Queen", don't miss your chance for the next best thing - see THE YOUNG VICTORIA starring Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend at the Drexel today!
The Young Victoria stars Golden Globe nominee for Best Actress Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) in her first major starring role as Queen Victoria. On the eve of her 18th birthday and ascension to the English throne, young Princess Victoria is caught in a royal power struggle. Her first years of rule are turbulent, and the court is filled with intrigue, but it is her blossoming love affair with Prince Albert (Rupert Friend, Pride & Prejudice), the suitor who wins her heart, that will determine the strength of her reign. Can she dedicate her life to her country and her heart to the one man she truly loves?
Written by Julian Fellowes (Academy Award winning screenwriter of Gosford Park), The Young Victoria is a passionate and romantic look at one of history's greatest love stories. Set amongst all the intrigue of the English court of the period, the film features a stellar supporting cast including Miranda Richardson, Academy Award-winner Jim Broadbent, Paul Bettany and Mark Strong. The Young Victoria, now showing at the Drexel Theatre, is rated PG. The film was directed by Jean-Marc Vallee and produced by Martin Scorsese, Graham King and Sarah Ferguson.
For complete showtimes call the Drexel Theatre at (614) 231-9512 or visit http://www.drexel.net/. High Tea with the Queen was made possible in part with the help of generosity of Costume Specialists of Columbus, the Ohio State Department of Theatre and JMH Antiques. Special thanks to Jessica Biggert who portrayed Queen Victoria, Jordan Shear who portrayed Prince Albert and Joseph Hayes who represented the British Crown.
