SAN FRANCISCO AND THE BAY AREA INDEPENDENT THEATRES

Hi Ivan... .
 
It's the MEN IN BLACK ruling the corporate movie empire, pumping mind-numbing drugs into the millions of moviegoers who gladly gulp them down and on to the next sorry excuse for a film...meanwhile,
 
thank goodness for cinemas in SF that show "non-corporate" films, foreign films, etc. like:
 
Opera Plaza - VanNess @ Golden Gate 352-0810. Usually has a selection of 5 films, often foreign or stranger mainstream movies.
 
Lumiere  - California @ Polk, 415/352-0810 currently showing Master of the Flying Guillotine, Notorious C.H.O. and Never Again. Shows 3 films at a time.
 
The Red Vic, 1727 Haight 415/668-3994 currently showing Animal Attraction. shows one film at a time.
 
Roxie (Roxie.com) 16th & Valencia, 863-1087 showing Rivers and Tides, and award-winning, must see film...about Andy Goldsworthy...whoever that is? Shows 1 film at a time. 
 
also FYI, i went to a play 2 nights ago at Berkeley Rep that was entitled "Cloud Nine" and it definitely deals with racial issues, gender bender and gay issues. It was wonderful watching these old (I'm talking in their 80s & up) couples in the audience laughing about masturbation...i think it only plays for one more week.
 
Hope this helps and hope you get to see a good film soon...!
 
 
NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO
