These tickets are in high demand, and we want them to reach the people who love this community, not the resale market. Tickets to see The Rivals of Amziah King are intended for personal use only and may not be resold, transferred for profit, or listed on any third-party resale site. Tickets offered or sold above face value may be voided without refund, and entry may be denied at the door.
If your plans change and you can't make it, please don't resell. Email us at info@arkansascinemasociety.org and we'll happily process a refund so we can pass your seats to someone on our waiting list. That's the only authorized way to release tickets you can no longer use.
See something off? If you come across tickets being sold above face value, or you suspect a scam, please let us know at info@arkansascinemasociety.org. Buying from unauthorized resellers is risky, those tickets may be voided, and we'd much rather help you find a legitimate seat through our waiting list.
Thanks for helping us keep this night fair and accessible for everyone!
Filmland is bringing one of the most recognizable voices in American film home to Arkansas. On Friday, August 14, Variety will present Matthew McConaughey with the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award, an honor reserved for artists who have broken barriers in the industry and withstood the test of time.
McConaughey accepts the award for a career that has never stopped surprising people, from his breakout in Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused in 1993, to his Academy Award and Golden Globe winning turn in Dallas Buyers Club, to his Emmy-nominated performance in the first season of True Detective. He'll soon be seen in Andrew Patterson's The Rivals of Amziah King.
Following a screening of The Rivals of Amziah King, McConaughey will join ACS co-founder Jeff Nichols for a Q+A. Nichols, who directed Mud and The Bikeriders, first worked with McConaughey on Mud, which makes this conversation feel less like an interview and more like a reunion.
"The Arkansas Cinema Society is elated to welcome Matthew McConaughey back to Arkansas and to Filmland this August to receive the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award," said Filmland Executive Director Kathryn Tucker. "After his unforgettable collaboration with ACS co-founder Jeff Nichols on Mud, this truly feels like a homecoming. We're grateful to our partners at Variety, and we're honored to continue what has become an annual Filmland tradition of celebrating legendary and groundbreaking filmmakers. The onstage conversation between Matthew and Jeff will undoubtedly be one not to be missed by our enthusiastic audience of film lovers in Arkansas."
Deep within the backwoods of rural Oklahoma, charismatic and musically gifted Amziah King (McConaughey) herds a bluegrass-playing band of misfits while overseeing the premier honey-making operation in town. When Amziah’s estranged foster daughter unexpectedly returns, Amziah leaps at the possibility to renew connection and create a family business. But the honey game is ruthless, and Amziah’s rivals threaten to destroy everything he has built.
