Coming this Friday, May 28
at 7 p.m.:
The Third Coast Film Society presents, Frida, a biographical film about the legendary Mexican surrealist artist.
 A sumptuous feast of art, music, art direction and outrageous personalities, Frida chronicles her long and stormy marriage to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, and the circle of artists, celebrities, and famous figures who inhabited their world.
With Academy awards for best makeup and best original music score, the film stars Salma Hayek as Frida and Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera. Frida is directed by noted theater, opera, and film director, Julie Taymor.
In the coming months, the Third Coast Film Society will continue screening films about artists: June's film will be Vincent and Theo, about Vincent Van Gogh and his art dealer brother, Theo. July's offering will be Buena Vista Social Club about legendary Cuban musicians, and in August, the Society screens, Basquiat, about the post-modern African-American artist, Jean Michael Basquiat.
Tickets for each film screening are $7 per person at the door. Popcorn and beverages will be available for sale.
Parking for Center events is available in the public lot south of the Center at the corner of Harrison and Loomis Streets.
