Part of Gene Wilder Tribute Month
Enzian is proud to present STIR CRAZY in collaboration with the 2017 ZORA! Festival, and the Society to Preserve Eatonville. Directed by Sidney Portier, the groundbreaking Academy Award winner for Best Actor, Stir Crazy is the first film directed by an African-American to earn more than $100 million at the box office. Please arrive promptly for a presentation by the ZORA! Festival on the historical significance of the film, its director, and the week’s ZORA! Festival events.
Presentation begins at 9:30PM
Film begins at 9:45PM
About the ZORA! Festival:
Taking place January 21st-29th, 2017 in Eatonville and throughout Orange County, Florida, this multi-day, multi-disciplinary event celebrates the life and work of 20th century writer, folklorist and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston; her hometown, Eatonville, the nation’s oldest incorporated African American municipality and the contributions people of African ancestry have made to the United States and world culture.
A portion of the proceeds from this screening will go to the ZORA! Festival.
Stir Crazy:
With a jailbreak offering them their only way out, a despondent duo rack their brains to figure out a foolproof plan. Fortuitously, one of them discovers an unexpected talent as a rodeo rider, and an escape plan begins to take shape at the annual prisoners’ rodeo.
USA, 1980, 111 minutes, Rated R, Directed by Sidney Poitier
