The Portland Museum of Art will premiere Movies at the
Museum on Friday, February 20 at 6:30 p.m. with the movie A Hard Day's
Night.

This is the first film in the aptly named Rock & Reel series in
conjunction with the exhibition Backstage Pass: Rock & Roll Photography.
Tickets are $7 each and are sold 1/2 hour before the movie at the Museum's
admissions desk. An updated schedule will be available on the website
www.moviesatthemuseum.org beginning February 17.

A Hard Day's Night, Rated G: A re-release of the 1964 classic musical comedy
about four shaggy-haired lads from Liverpool, this is a playful
day-in-the-life look at the emerging rock stars: John, Paul, George, and
Ringo. Pursued by hordes of shrieking girls caught up in "Beatlemania," they
dash in and out of railways, through London streets, and into a TV recording
studio. With concert footage of The Beatles performing "She Loves You," this
movie has been called "The best rock-n-roll movie ever!" by Joel Siegel,
Good Morning America.

In January 2009, The Movies on Exchange Street moved its operation to the
Portland Museum of Art and was renamed Movies at the Museum. The Movies on
Exchange Street was owned and operated in Portland since 1980 by Stephen and
Judith Halpert. Steve and Judy Halpert are now film consultants to the
Museum and will continue to bring foreign, classical, and arts films to
Portland.
