The Myrna Loy is screening Roadless on Tuesday, October 27, with tickets ranging from $7 to $10. The film's director, Robert Lester of Butte, will be present for a question-and-answer session after the showing — making it a rarer chance than most screenings to talk directly with the person who made the film.
Lester is an adventure filmmaker and athlete whose previous feature, The Columbia River Canoe Project, earned award recognition after its 2024 release. That 70-minute documentary followed a canoe journey down the Columbia River and established Lester's reputation for combining physical endurance storytelling with polished cinematography. Roadless continues in that vein, focusing on Montana backcountry travel through terrain that remains off the road system.
The Myrna Loy, at 15 North Ewing Street, has built a programming niche around exactly this kind of event — Montana-made films with filmmakers in the room. It gives the venue something the multiplex can't offer: a conversation after the credits roll.
Tickets can be purchased through The Myrna Loy's box office or website. The October 27 screening is a single showing, so interested viewers should plan accordingly.
