The Wizard of Oz

From its groundbreaking Technicolor camerawork and eye-popping set design, costuming, and choreography to its catchy music and enduring lyrics, The Wizard of Oz remains one of the crowning achievements of Hollywood’s Golden Age as well as one of the most beloved film classics of all time. The premise adapted from L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel: A Kansas girl travels with a scarecrow, a tinman, a lion (and her dog, Toto, too) through a magical land of Munchkins, witches, and the wonderful wizard. A joyful celebration of imagination as well as an unsettling tale of childhood insecurities, the film remains every bit as resonant as it was upon its premiere.

Screening in conjunction with the upcoming documentary LYNCH/OZ and a number of Lynch’s most haunting films as part of this Summer’s You’re Not In Kansas Anymore series.
