GO TO..... The Asheville Film Festival ... |
| "...When it comes to movies, Asheville’s star truly shines-and we freely admit while hosting the greats, the near greats, and even a few bombs (nobody talks about King Kong Lives, a 1986 Dine De Laurentis sequel that left nobody laughing). In the early days, Thomas Edison traveled to the Esmeralda Inn in nearby Chimney Rock to film shorts for his New Jersey studio. To celebrate 1921, Conquest of Canaan was shot entirely in the city and opened the door to features like Tap Roots, the 1948 epic with Susan Hayward and Van Heflin making love in Mississippi pines recreated in nearby Black Mountain. The Swan, a 1956 release, filmed at Biltmore Estate, starred Grace Kelly and Alec Guinness, followed by Thunder Road, a 1958 salute to moonshine and Robert Mitchum. In 1979 Being There, with Shirley McClaine and Peter Sellers, became the prophetic Forrest Gump of the Reagan years. The early 1990's saw Michael Mann trading the pastels of Miami for the deep shadows of our mountain greenery when he brought the 1992 version of The Last of the Mohicans to the contemporary screen. Railroads were wrecked with amazing realism when Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones battled for the winner’s square in 1993s The Fugitive. In 1996 Asheville turned its downtown into a Gay-Day Parade starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner as they romped through My Fellow Americans. Then in 2001, Hannibal Lecter celebrated one more last meal in Hannibal, the 2001 salute to nouvelle cuisine. Patch Adams loved our mountains, Songcatcher turned their beauty into song, and just a few months ago, Robert Redford and Helen Mirren filmed The Clearing in our backyard. Self Magazine calls us America’s Happiest City, and AARP has termed us the best place to retire, while Rolling Stone had choice words about our eccentricities. But we will let you discover the hidden depths of the city by yourself while you celebrate the movies of the 21st Century!..." Return to FILMIC Index... |
