Continuing its run of unique and critically acclaimed movies, the State Theatre will start the week off Saturday with a distinctly quirky comedy when they show Colour Me Kubrick.

The film is about a real-life con artist who was able to trick people into thinking he was director Stanley Kubrick because of the director's infamy for being a recluse in the last years of his life.

John Malkovich plays Alan Conway, the man who impersonated Kubrick.

The story shows that Conway was able to wine and dine with movie stars after telling them stories about shooting his now-classic films and promising them roles in his upcoming work.

Joe Apfelbaum, programming manager at the State Theatre, said he chose this small budget film because not only does it have a big name actor, but it has received a lot of positive press for being a more independent production.

"We're always happy to have something new. The film has received a lot of buzz and conceptually it seems very funny. We're lucky to show it here," Apfelbaum said.

In terms of showing more small/independent films in the future, Apfelbaum said the State Theatre already has plans underway to show more films like Colour Me Kubrick hopefully as early as the second week in May.

"Starting this summer, once music schedule runs its course, every week we're going to be showing small independent films of very high quality like Colour Me Kubrick. We're also going to do more thematic films on Sundays. Hopefully this will continue into the fall, after we've established a consistency of showing smaller films," Apfelbaum said.
