WEEKNIGHTS

WEEKNIGHTS

Movies speak a visual language. More and more, they speak the same visual language. Not WEEKNIGHTS. A three-way character-study, thematically about loneliness, this tiny but lovingly crafted movie is essentially a montage. Lengthy wide shots. No score. Very little dialogue. Just characters in a place, revealing themselves to us with gestures, a few words, mostly silence. It's beautiful and meditative. Join director Alfred Giancarli for an unforgettable night with a new kind of movie. Tickets.

Sep

1978 Japan Cheese Explosion! GUNDAM & SUPAIDAMAN

An outrageous anime-inspired double-header programmed by the kino's youngest (and smartest) fan. Up first, the classic anime from 1979 -- GUNDAM! The Principality of Zeon has declared independence from the Earth Federation, and subsequently launches a war of independence. Zeon, though smaller, has the tactical upper hand through their use of a new type of humanoid weapons called mobile suits.

After that, SUPAIDAMAN, the famous 1978 Japanese Spider-man knockoff. In this live-action shlockfest, motorcyclist Takuya Yamashiro fights the evil forces of Professor Monster. Join us!
