Native Californian Kathryn Bigelow gets celebrated by the American Cinematheque next weekend, when her quite excellent new film, the Iraq-set war drama The Hurt Locker, screens at the Egyptian Theatre on Friday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. Following the advance screening, a discussion with Bigelow and various, yet-to-be-confirmed cast members will be held. Then, over the next two nights, she’ll get some double feature love, and return for in-person introductions to each film. Saturday, June 6, spotlights Near Dark and Strange Days, while Sunday, June 7 features Point Break and K9: The Widowmaker.
