As part of this week's celebration of 1939 films (in honor of the State's two-year anniversary), we'll be screening "Dark Victory" for free tonight at 6:30 p.m. Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress (Bette Davis) and Best Original Score, "Dark Victory" stars Davis as a hedonistic young woman who is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and must come to grips with the fact she has less than a year to live. George Brent and Humphrey Bogart co-star in the film.

Local filmmaker Rich Brauer and Interlochen's Motion Picture Arts Division director Michael Mittelstaedt will host a free film class post-screening on lighting and other cinematic techniques used in the movie. For more information, click here.
