So one of the great things about our location on 4th Street is that we get to be front and center for this year's annual ROCK THE BLOCK on September 18. Because we want to celebrate with all the other 29,995 attendees, we are opening up our doors (for a small entrance fee of $1 for adults and $0.50 for kids) and screening two very special shorts, running continuously ...all..day..long (okay maybe just from 11am to 5pm). We hope to get some new folks in the door and provide a respite from all the craziness happening out on the street. Here's the scoop on the films:
short #1: Way Home - a film by Erick Oh
Way Home is a story featuring a fly, a dung beetle, and a farmer. Enough said...this film is animated, kid-friendly and 9 minutes long. To check out the trailer please visit Erick's cool website.
short #2 - Un Certain Regard a film by Geraldine Maillet and produced by Winston-Salem's very own Iana Dontcheva!!!
Un Certain Regard can be summarized in the following way: summertime. a city park. a man locks eyes with a mysterious woman. a seduction game begins, both comic and dramatic. This film is 7 minutes long and though more for adults it is definitely kid-appropriate.
Considering this is the extent of our participation last year,
we've come a long way and we are very excited to be in business for this annual event. Our regular films will pick back up after 5pm on 9/18 so you really could spend all day downtown at RTB if you wanted to. Who knows maybe we can even convince Chris Paul to come check out a flick?
See you on Sept 18!
