Toy Sheep Microcinema: Killer of Sheep
2026-02-05 18:00 - 20:00
Toy Sheep Microcinema, Awesome Space, the ASU English Department and the Appalachian Theatre present
Killer of Sheep
Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. / Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
Free Admission – Open to the Public
This program is unrated but recommended for adults only.
All Seating is General Admission

KILLER OF SHEEP (Charles Burnett, USA), is a poetic portrait of 1970s family life in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles that is considered one of the great American films: the Library of Congress chose SHEEP for its National Film Registry in 1990, honoring its status as a “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant movie,” while the National Society of Film Critics included SHEEP on its “100 Essential Films” list released in 2002. For this event, we are showcasing a new 4K restoration of the movie that, according to Darol Olu Kae, is a “revelation”: “Every dusty street, worn face, and tender moment is rendered with a depth and clarity that intensifies the film’s melancholic beauty.” This Film is Not Rated / Runtime: 80 minutes
KILLER OF SHEEP plays at 6:30pm (please note, NOT at our usual time of 8:30pm) on Thursday, February 5 in the main auditorium of the Appalachian Theatre at 559 West King Street, Boone. This event will be introduced by two ASU English professors, Michael Docherty (speaking about the L.A. Rebellion, the group of filmmakers—including Charles Burnett—who began as UCLA students and would later revolutionize the depiction of Black cultures in American cinema) and John Sanders (on resistance in KILLER OF SHEEP) This event is FREE and open to the public, and all Toy Sheep events are recommended for adults only.

In his four-star review of SHEEP, film critic Roger Ebert wrote, “The film centers on Stan, a slaughterhouse worker who labors to exhaustion at his work and then returns to jobs at home: fixing the sink, putting down new linoleum, raising the kids. In this he is joined by his wife, a beautiful but tired woman, who freshens her makeup to welcome him home, even though he can hardly notice. Burnett regards their faces, lives, children, friends, neighbors, in a loosely strung-together series of episodes that don’t add up to much, while they somehow add up to everything.”

Girl Climber at The Appalachian Theatre of the High Country

“Girl Climber” Director and Filmmaker, Jon Glassberg will be present to introduce his film and participate in a short panel on the convergence of climbing, recreation, conservation, and community. Jon lived, and climbed, in Boone from 2002 – 2009 and graduated with two degrees from AppState.

Starting from his roots as a professional climber, Jon has ventured globally to capture historical moments in outdoor sports with the industry’s biggest names. His production company, Louder Than 11, documents authentic stories in extreme environments around the world.
Girl Climber (2025) – Professional climber Emily Harrington has summited Everest, 8000-meter peaks, and dominated the competition circuit but, her greatest challenge extends beyond the physical. To cement her legacy in the male dominated world of elite rock climbing, she sets her sights on a career-defining 24-hour ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan.
Caught between the pursuit of personal ambition and the ticking biological clock of life, a near-fatal fall forces Emily to reckon with what she’s willing to risk. Equal parts gripping survival story and intimate portrait, Girl Climber isn’t just about breaking records, it’s about breaking barriers. Amongst Yosemite’s legendary boy’s club, Emily isn’t proving she is the best *Girl Climber– she’s proving she is one of the best. Period. Runtime: 1hour 22 minutes – Not Rated
Arrive early to allow time to meet and connect with The Blue Ridge Conservancy and other sponsors of this event and for concessions purchases featuring a full line of popcorn, candy, cookies, soda, water, beer and wine.
