Bill the Galactic Hero

Alex Cox (Repo Man) and five of his students from the Film Studies Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder direct this micro-budget sci-fi film based on the cult antiwar satire by Harry Harrison. The "Bill" of the title is a simple farmer, recruited into the intergalactic military to fight an alien race. Thanks to a series of mishaps, Bill accidentally wipes out an entire armada of invading ships and becomes a hero to millions. That's when his troubles really begin. A percentage of the proceeds from this screening will go to ABQ Justice, a grassroots organization for homeless justice. 90 minutes Unrated. (Opens Friday 4/3)
