Tonight's double-bill (which pairs a documentary by Jonathan Demme and a drama by his late nephew Ted Demme) displays the range of Ellen Kuras's cinematographic work.

Second film start time: 8:50PM. Director Jonathan Demme is known for his excellent music documentaries (Stop Making Sense, Storefront Hitchcock) as much as his feature films. His latest is Neil Young: Heart of Gold, a remarkably intimate concert portrait of the legendary rocker premiering his songs from Prairie Wind. With Emmylou Harris, Ben Keith, and Spooner Oldham. (103 mins., 35mm)

Blow stars Johnny Depp in the cock-eyed, rags-to-riches true story of George Jung, a man who became one of the biggest cocaine importers of the 1970s and 80s. With Penelope Cruz, Franka Potente, and Rachel Griffiths. (124 mins., 35mm)

Special thanks to Ellen Kuras for her generous cooperation and assistance with this series.
