Details About the Film

This film is part of the series American Music on Screen

In the Deep South during the 1930s, three escaped convicts–Ulysses (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro), and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson)–search for hidden treasure while on the run from an overzealous sheriff. An acclaimed musical satire from the Coen Brothers, O Brother, Where Art Thou? earned a Grammy Award for its folk and country music soundtrack featuring the talents of John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Ralph Stanley, Chris Sharp, and Patty Loveless. This screening includes a pre-film musical performance from River Ghost Revue shortly after doors open at 6:30PM and will be followed by a post-film Q&A with the musicians.
