SUNSHINE, Nov 8th --FREE FILM!

Saturday, November 8th, at 7 PM only, in ATLAS 102:
A special 4K digital projector and Blu-Ray demo. On tap: SUNSHINE (2007) by director Danny Boyle.

"The initial premise of "Sunshine" -- the sun is dying and mankind has put all hope in a desperate effort to reignite our star with a nuclear payload of galactic dimensions -- is more fantasy than science fiction, powered by nonsense physics similar to such sci-fi adventures as ARMAGEDDON and THE CORE." This movie has "magnificent imagery and a gravity that pulls you in" (SEAN AXMAKER)

THE EXILES

"THE EXILES is a lost Los Angeles treasure about a culture that disappeared and haunting neighborhoods that are no more. That we have it with us again is little short of miraculous." Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

THE EXILES is the indie hit of 2008. This long lost documentary has not been seen in nearly 50 years. Recently revisited, Kent Mackenzie's THE EXILES has returned to screens in LA to great praise. It follows a group of Native American men and women in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles as they live the life of exiles, removed from southwest reservations. Today, the movie fascinates audiences as it did at the 1961 Venice Film Festival. Never released commercially, the film is a new treasure from a time passed and can be seen October 18th at 7 PM in the Muenzinger auditorium. Don't miss your chance to see this great movie for FREE with IFS.

"The film is receiving justifiable praise for its documentary aspects, but it's more than a historical record: Mackenzie (who passed away at 50 in 1980) was a serious filmmaker and THE EXILES is an observant, empathic, and haunting film with a street poetry all its own. Its nighttime photography is astonishingly vivid and immersive, perfectly capturing the architecture, faces, and bodies of its teeming urban setting." -Doug Cumming's Film Journey
