The Doors: From Cult to Classic: ‘90s on Film

In 1965, Jim Morrison meets Ray Manzarek in a UCLA film class. Jim writes poems, Ray plays the organ, they decide to try their luck and form a group called the “Doors” with guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Desmore. The rest, as they say, is history. THE DOORS is Oliver Stone’s cinematic telling of the band’s story, with a notable performance from Val Kilmer as frontman Jim Morrison. 

Triskel Arts Centre presents these screenings of THE DOORS in tribute to actor Val Kilmer, who sadly passed away back in April.

From Cult to Classic: ‘90s on Film Season 

Throughout the month of June, Triskel Arts Centre presents a selection of notable films from the ‘90s, both bonafide classics as well as movies that developed a following as the years progressed. There’s the epic heist thriller HEAT starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro; the wonderfully quirky Australian comedy MURIEL’S WEDDING which introduced the world to Toni Collette; Paul Verhoeven’s hyperbolic SHOWGIRLS which was a flop back in 1995 but has since become a hugely popular cult movie; the angry French social drama LA HAINE starring Vincent Cassel; and Oliver Stone’s acclaimed music biopic THE DOORS, which will be screened as a tribute to its late star Val Kilmer.
