One Year Anniversary Party with FILMO

229 East 9th Avenue,Homestead PA 15120

Description

16mm film is 100 years old this year, but the format has never seen something like this! Filmo is our one-of-a-kind experiment in participatory movie watching and fortuitous curation. Here's the deal: everyone in attendance receives a unique Filmo card. It's like a bingo card, except each square lists a title of a short-short 16mm film (out of 75 possible options.) We'll draw a title and will then play that film. As audience members check-off their squares and get F-I-L-M-O, winners get to choose the next film! (Plus some lucky winners will take home special prizes!) Film scholar Eli Boonin-Vail called our Filmo test run "Bar none the most fun I've ever had at a screening!" This is our one-year anniversary party and fundraiser, so admission will be slightly higher than usual at $15. Doors open at 7:30. Filmo start at 8:00. BYOB Accessibility note: The street-level entrance to the screening space has a two inch lip at the door, which we'll be very glad to assist with. Stairs are not required. Details and contact info will be emailed to registrants.
