Don't know about any premieres yet. That usually gets announced closer to the festival. I would imagine that they play Electric Apricot again.
If that guitar documentary with The Edge, Jack White, and Jimmy Page is finished I could see that playing there possibly. There's always a few documentaries and good stuff.

Hallucinogenics wouldn't be bad to show.. I was hoping Interstella 5555 would play.. They played Electrorama last year.. I didn't go to the cinema tent until last year to watch Daft Punk I was always busy watching shows

the appeal comes on a saturday or sunday afternoon when your exhausted and it 96 degrees and you dont feel like walking back to camp, great place to catch a nap or just to cool down for an hour
one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me was in the Cinema Tent on Thursday in 07. my girlfriend and i had WAY too much corn and needed AC bad so we decided to seek refuge there. well we fell asleep for like 4 hours. when i woke up the Monterey Pop festival was on so i was like sweet i love this movie. on a sidenote a hippy next to me with his girlfriend and apparantly they were sleeping too was like "Hey man how long have you been here?". i replied with "I'm not sure man, like 3 or 4 hours maybe, how about you?". "The same," he said, " we needed to pass out for a few hours." I was like woah, that's so wierd like I'm looking in a mirror or something. Anyways, so i was grooving on the Monterey Pop festival when it ended and everyone was all ancy like something was about to happen. all of a sudden this dude starts talking and it's the guy who filmed the freaking movie and he was taking questions and talking about what it was like to work with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and stuff and my mind was totally blown. that was one of the coolest days ever!

If I recall correctly from last year, we didn't know what movies they were going to play until they released the schedule. We only knew a few names just from the 'cinema' tag on the front page. I think they should do movies as their own separate announcement beforehand, the way they do for comedians.

if anybody was there for game 4 of the heat/mavs finals game in 2006 on thursday evening, you know how awesome the cinema tent can get. it was easily the best sports-watching experience of my life.
Any one seen synechdoche, NY that movie should be there it was insanely good
love charlie kaufman, but man, that movie was a total and utter snoozer. painful.
i thought synecdoche, ny was the best movie from last year. that being said, it's not a bonnaroo movie...too gut-wrenchingly depressing. even if it has plenty of moments of levity, I still couldn't talk for the rest of the night after I left the theater. I just couldn't.
My favorite cinema tent experiences were watching the World Cup in 06
This was a good time...I didnt think it would have the draw it did, but I stopped in there for a min thinking that noone would be interested in this at Roo. Boy was I wrong
I have never been to the cinema tent. I'm sure you could catch some interesting stuff there, but damn there is way too much other shit goin on for me to watch a movie. i'm the same way with the comedy tent...totally biased
The Cinema Tent is great IMO. Back in 07 on Friday I ate waaaay too much corn, my first time and everything. And you guys remember how hot it was in 07. It's great having a place to go to cool off in the middle of the day, especially in an environment like Bonnaroo where some people are in need of it.

there are times when there's no music playing........or no music you want to see. that's the perfect time to catch a movie or a comedian.

Don't think of it as the cinema tent. Think of it as the shady A/C tent that just happens to have moving pictures on the back wall.

I seem to remember some very nice comfy couches last year?
amazing for sleep
the funniest/saddest thing is watching the people who wait like vultures for couches to open up. each one has a few people crashing there, and then in the regular seats are people watching patiently.
i've been one of those people.....but yea the couches are comfy
So is the cinema tent the only AC area at Roo? Seem's like the best place to take a break here and there
Cinema tent, comedy tent, cigarette smoking tent......just about any of the smaller, sponsor tents (where you charge your phone or go online or something) are air conditioned.
The comedy tent you have to get tix and wait for a show to start........the cinema tent is the easiest to get into for cooling off - depending on the time. It can be packed sometimes.

World Cup 02 was a lot of fun to watch too, because the games were on at like 4am, and there was always a big and totally fun late night crowd for the games.
For this year, Bela Fleck has a new documentary "Throw Down Your Heart" that's about his recent musical trip through Africa. The film premiered at SXSW, and since he's at Roo with Toumani Diabate, there's at least a possibility of a screening in the cinema tent.
