The next Asheville Movie Guys event will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 10, featuring a virtual discussion of "Mississippi Burning" in honor of its recently departed director, Alan Parker.

Everyone is welcome to watch the film via Amazon Video (free with Prime memberships) or rent it through other streaming platforms prior to the event, then join us for the discussion, which will take place via a Facebook Live video feed from the Asheville Movie Guys' Facebook page. Bruce Steele and Edwin Arnaudin of Asheville Movies.com will do their usual post-screening discussion, including behind-the-scenes details on the making of the film, then open the (digital) floor for attendees to respond. Questions may be submitted by comment within Facebook or via email to ashevillemovies@gmail.com.

There is no charge for this event. Patrons are encouraged to consider making a one-time donation of $5 or more to event co-sponsor Mountain Xpress at https://mountainx.com/community-supported-journalism to keep the paper's movie review section going while theaters are closed. If you do make a donation, please click the "I enjoy reading the movie reviews" box to help track donations.

The Movie Guys plan to offer live-streamed discussions every couple of weeks until regular host site the Fine Arts Theatre reopens. Please join us on Aug. 10 and check back for details on future events.
