The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art will open its summer Independent Film Series with the experimental, survival documentary “Two Years at Sea” (2011) at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.

This blend of fiction and reality follows the stories of those who choose to live outside of cultural norms and elect to lead life by their own rules. Follow Jake, as he survives the coming seasons and keeps himself busy with imaginative projects. To learn more about this film and watch the trailer, visit its webpage.

Admission to the museum is free, and guests will be encouraged to stay for a live musical performance after the movie, with food available for purchase. The performance, which will begin at 7:30 p.m., features two Baltimore artists, Lefty Bey and Sleepy Sword. Entry is free, and guests will experience an evening of relaxed, easy listening as the two Baltimore natives harmonize through folk strums and hip-hop beats.

The museum is located at 901 S. College St., and anyone with questions can call 334-844-1484 or email jcsm@auburn.edu.
