Telluride Film Fest's Sunday At The Palm: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
The Telluride Film Festival, in collaboration with The Telluride Foundation and the Telluride R1 School District, launches the 2011/2012 program of its ongoing series, Sunday at The Palm.
The first screening takes place Sunday, September 25, 4 p.m. and is FREE to all. The featured film is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Special guest, local Jeff Price, the film's screenwriter, plans to be on hand to discuss his film-noiresque mystery and answer questions.
In Bon Temps, Louisiana, it's vampires. In this 1988 film, a collaboration between Disney Studios and Steven Speilberg, it's Toons and humans who co-exist in a 1947 Hollywood world. The story centers around Roger Rabbit (voice of Charles Fleischer) who has been framed for the murder of gag-gift king Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye). Acme was photographed playing patty cake with Roger’s wife Jessica Rabbit (voice of Kathleen Turner), and so Roger appears to have clear motive for the dastardly deed.
