Venus and Serena

The Williams sisters are unlike any other sports celebrities in America today, and so well-known that their last name need never be mentioned—not even in this documentary’s title. Venus and Serena Williams, tennis stars who endured years of training, triumph and hardship side by side, have worked as a team despite countless opportunities for their blood ties to split them apart. Venus and Serena turns the spotlight on their hardest year, as physical challenges and personal changes reveal the inspiring depth of their commitment to each other.

DJs Jon Francois and Nik Gilmore return Movie Night to our screens as they remix quirky feature films with some of the finest vinyl records, live! Feast your eyes on odd cinematic gems, as the DJs replace almost the entire soundtrack (including music, sound effects and dialogue) of classic flicks.

In May, our DJs take on Arnold Schwarzenegger dominating a totalitarian society of the future (but filmed in 1987). Can you guess the movie? More hints? The film also features an '80s "babe" as the love interest, corny stunts and graphics, action and the gore. Everything that defined the '80s, and everything that defines Arnold Schwarzenegger. Special ticket pricing: $5 online or at the door!

Greetings From Tim Buckley

Wed, 08 May 2013 15:07:25 -0700

It’s 1991, and the organizer of a tribute concert for musician Tim Buckley has asked his son Jeff to make his debut performance. Wrestling with confusing feelings about the father he never knew, Jeff travels to New York City, exploring the city like his father (whose story is also told in Greetings) once explored America on a cross-country tour. This feature film exploration of fame and memory also features the up-and-coming musician Penn Badgley, who plays the role of Jeff with all the uncertainty and struggle that Buckley fans have heard in his music.

"Haunting...director Dan Algrant's lyrical recreation of a father-son relationship seen over time, through memory and music, has a sense of urgent originality that works even apart from its great Tim Buckley score." – The Hollywood Reporter
