ABOUT THE FILMS: SURE FIRE, 1990, Dir. Jon Jost, 83 Mins, USA Wes (Tom Blair) is determined to purchase land in his hometown of Circlesville, Utah, then sell it to Californians eager to get away from urban sprawl. When bank manager Dick (Rick Blackwell) declines to go into a partnership with him, Wes tries to get his best friend, Larry (Robert Ernst), to help him with the business. Meanwhile at home, Wes is an overbearing father to his resentful son, Phillip (Phillip R. Brown), who is preparing for his first hunting trip. FORMAT: DCP THE BED YOU SLEEP IN, 1993, Dir. Jon Jost, 117 Mins, USA Set in a small lumber mill town in Oregon, THE BED YOU SLEEP IN is an examination of a family facing a crisis – an accusation of deep and profound impact against one of its members. Along the way a portrait is rendered of the town, discreetly revealing its qualities, for better and worse. While doing so in a very oblique and indirect manner, the town and the family are surrogates for the larger community of America and its family of citizens. Moving slowly and stealthily, THE BED YOU SLEEP IN lays out its pieces, inviting the viewer to think for themselves. When the accusation arrives, a tragedy ensues, sweeping the family to the abyss.
