When Steve Shapero thinks of Western movies, images of iconic heroes come to mind: John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Yul Bryner. Shapero considers himself a film aficionado, and he misses seeing the classic films on the big screen. So this year, with a focus on Westerns, he is bringing a variety of films to the big screen at the first Bigfork Film Festival.

The Bigfork Film Festival will be Oct. 16-20 at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts. Afternoons and evenings will feature screenings of a variety of Western films. Ticket prices range from $11 for one day to $33 for all five days. They are available at The Pocketstone Cafe and Electric Avenue Gifts in Bigfork; Sandpiper Gallery in Polson; The Kalispell Grand Hotel in Kalispell; and the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts box office.
