Welcome to the second year of Heartland Filmʼs Cinemania presented by F.A. Wilhelm Construction Co.!

Thank you for coming out to this one-night epic Tribute to Dance Films of the ‘80s! Iʼm so excited about this theme.

I remember when “Xanadu” first came out in theaters. I loved it so much that I begged my sister to watch it again, so we stuck around for the next screening!

From the “Purple Rain” nightclub to the “Dirty Dancing” finale lift, the moves and music of the ‘80s were iconic. And thanks to the donations and dedication of our sponsors, partners, committee, Heartland Film staff and volunteers, we can dance into the best moments tonight.

Thanks again for attending Cinemania and supporting Heartland Film! I hope you have the time of your life!

Michael Ault President, Heartland Film
