Entertaining, engaging and enriching our community for a better understanding of ourselves, others and the world. Art House began as an idea of Billings native Matt Blakeslee and slowly but surely grew to a committed core of individuals passionate to see downtown have a premium theater and art space. Beginning in 2012 we started work on our business plan, hired theater consultants, traveled to con

ventions, built relationships with other theaters, and began to talking with our architect, Dennis Deppmeier. Finally in the summer of 2013 we found a home in the old bowling alley (Center Lanes) located at 109 North 30th Street. This place was perfect as it not only provided a great space to build our theater, but also provided the adequate room and infrastructure for our desired expansion in the future. We signed the lease and began demolition and remodeling in September 2014. The next 7 months involved many long nights, early mornings and multiple coffee runs as we continued to tweak, design, and build out the theater. Our amazing architect wisely informed us we should plan for an approximate price tag of $220,000 when all was said and done. This didn’t phase us, but simply motivated us to share the vision, fundraise, and work hard to save every penny we could. So many individuals and companies stepped up to the plate to help cut our projected budget from $220,000 to $120,000. This truly became a community project and we are so grateful to everyone who gave, served, and shared the story. March 2015 we opened our doors to the public and began to show films. This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to see what happens as we continue to bring in great films along with showcasing other great art. We can’t wait to have a great conversation.

FROM THE MAKERS OF RE-ANIMATOR!

From Stuart Gordon, the man behind Re-Animator (and also Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!?) comes FROM BEYOND for its 40th Anniversary this Late Night! An inter-dimensional, mad scientist horror-comedy loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft's writings, this is a body melting good time just like Re-Animator (and also starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton), so feed your brain worm with some ooey gooey sci-fi schlock that begs to be seen on the big screen!

...LIKE BOYS DO, NOTHING NEW

From musician/actress/author Hayley Kiyoko comes the big screen adaptation of her first novel, the coming-of-age drama GIRLS LIKE GIRLS. Starring Maya Da Costa, Myra Molloy, and Zach Braff, this story is a blend of exhilaration, uncertainty, self-doubt, and emotional embrace that comes with any budding romance. A beautiful ode to young love and desire and acceptance of one's identity, this is an easy film to love this Pride month!

REMEMBERING AN IRANIAN ARTIST

With the passing of French-Iranian comic author and film director Marjane Satrapi, now is a perfect time to revisit her animated adaptation of her graphic novel memoir PERSEPOLIS. Nominated for Best Animated Feature (and first female director to receive that honor), this coming-of-age drama explores Satrapi's upbringing in Iran and Austria during the Islamic Revolution, lovingly animated in Satrapi's signature style. A brilliant film about a magnificent life, don't miss PERSEPOLIS at Art House!
