Film society rocks out
HEIDI HOLMSTROM, CONTRIBUTOR
If you are a fan of rock 'n roll, there are two events
this weekend that you should be sure to attend. The Bowdoin Film Society
is bringing punk rock to two of the biggest screens on campus. On Friday,
April 11, Rock 'n Roll High School (1979), starring the Ramones and produced
by Roger Corman, will play in Kresge Auditorium (a switch from our usual
venue). For Saturday, April 12, we move back to Smith Auditorium with
Blank Generation (1979), starring Richard Hell. Both films will begin
at 7:00 p.m., but come a little earlier to hear some music. [read
