BE RIGHT THERE at the 2009 Brainwash Movie Festival
July 8, 2009
Our ode to misplacing keys, BE RIGHT THERE, will be screening at the Brainwash Movie Festival in August:
Bay Area's own Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk In movie festival features original shorts from around the world! The sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes wacky, but always original Brainwash Movie Festival returns in the summer of 2009.
Attendees to the festival are encouraged to either drive, bike, walk, or take public transit to the venue — a parking lot near the West Oakland BART station — where movies are screened in traditional drive-in movie theater fashion, complete with FM transmission and a full-service concession stand.
Apparently, the Times calls the Brainwash Movie Festival "a piece of that old Hollywood magic [that] challeng[es] conventions on the role of public space in the process."
I'm not sure if Be Right There falls under that umbrella, but hey, I'm not complaining.
Anyway, the festival runs two days from July 31st to August 1st. All shows begin at 9pm in the Mandela Village Arts Center at 1357 5th Street in Oakland.
Be Right There will be showing on Saturday. Tickets are 9 clams.
