The final film in MonDak’s First Friday Film Series is “The Rider,” an independent drama directed by Chloé Zhao.
After a tragic riding accident, young cowboy Brady (Brady Jandreau), once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, is warned that his competition days are over. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America. Rated R.
Winner of the C.I.C.A.E. Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the film also received five Spirit Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won the Grand Jury Prize at the Deauville Film Festival.
The film is free to the public; popcorn provided.
