GATES OF HEAVEN, 7 PM
Morris made his first film after reading a news item, headlined "450 Dead Pets Going to Napa Valley." A California pet cemetery was facing so much financial and legal trouble that the animals had to be exhumed and reburied elsewhere. This remarkable film about love, loss, and the afterlife became a sensation, and a filmmaker was born. 1978, U.S., 85 minutes.
VERNON, FLORIDA, 8:45 PM
What began as an investigation of "Nub City," a panhandle town with an unusually high number of insurance claims for accidental losses of limbs, became a portrait of small-town America. Morris reveals the range of eccentric personalities that emerge in an isolated community, including a minister who lectures at length on the word "therefore" and a turkey--"gobblers," as he calls them--fanatic. 1981, U.S., 72 minutes.
