Creative Cocktail Hour Does capitalism work for you? Cast your vote on Steve Lambert's Capitalism Works For Me! True/False project. Opening reception for House of the Unmaker by STEP Up artist Dennis Maher from 6 - 8 PM. Dennis Maher explores the concept of 'home' by constructing narratives about the anatomies of houses. The Artists Collective and Real Art Ways present A Great Day in Harlem, a documentary about a seemingly ho-hum subject -- the taking of a photograph. The photograph in question involves some of the greatest jazz musicians who ever lived. Screenings at 6 PM and 8 PM. DJ Love Migraine will be spinning eclectic selections of italo disco, electropop, French pop, new wave, post punk, dance hits, & straight up rock n' roll from 8-10 PM. Delicacy Audrey Tautou is Nathalie, a beautiful, happy, and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. To cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers. One day, inexplicably, her zest for life and love is rekindled by a most unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, gauche, and average looking office subordinate, Markus. "It's small. It's slight. It's sweet. It's a "Delicacy" - and meant to be savored."-Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger August to June Intimately and exuberantly, this feature length documentary brings us into the lives of 26 third and fourth grade students who attend an "open classroom" school in northern California. How to Grow a Band Filmed with uncommon access, How to Grow a Band provides a rare look at the start of one of America's most promising young bands and explores the tensions that test young artists: individual talents and group identity, craft and commerce, innocence and wisdom. "How to Grow a Band is most fascinating as it tactfully charts the sort of artistic and philosophical differences that can eventually undermine any group endeavor, even among seemingly like-minded collaborators."-Joe Leydon, Variety Monday Matinée: Frankenstein
One of the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest American Movies. Directed by James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff. A horror classic in which an obsessed scientist assembles a living being from parts of exhumed corpses, exploring the fine line between genius and madness.
