Movies on a Big Screen is back with a new venue!!

Location: 600 4th St in West Sacramento. Corner of 4th & F (in WEST Sacramento, not Sacramento). This is *just* over the river near the Pyramid Building. Parking lot (which is lit) is just off of F St between 4th & 5th. It's a huge gray building taking up about half the block. And this venue is all thanks to local eco-urban developers LJ Urban! If you don't know them, check 'em out at http://www.ljurban.com - and check their blog while you're there!

Seating is mostly on folding chairs - feel free to bring a pillow or cushion - or even your own chair. Digital projection on to a large screen.

Admission: $5.00

East of Euclid
A twisted comic film noir set in 1972 in the North End of Winnipeg. A newspaper reporter breaks a story that involves a strange love triangle between a Russian gambler, a perogie factory girl and a daring news photographer. Mix in gambling, money-laundering, murder and a kidnapped Finnish hockey player and you have a plot that is as thick as homemade borscht, with characters as colourful, and sometimes as fragile, as Ukrainian Easter eggs.

Somewhat of a Guy Maddin alumni reunion, "East of Euclid," written and directed by Jeff Solylo (Art Director on "Tales from Gimli Hospital," "Archangel," and "Careful") stars Michael O'Sullivan ("Archangel" and "Careful"), Brent Neale ("Tales from the Gimili Hopsital," "Archangel," "Careful," "Dracula, Pages From a Virgin's Diary"), and Maria Lamont who has had leading roles in theatre across Canada. Also features Miles Boisselle and Jeff Skinner, both with roles in "The Saddest Music in the World," as well as Mark Yuill ("Archangel," "Careful," and John Paizs' "Crimewave").

We're quite excited to bring this wry Canadian import to Sacramento following its hugely successful film fest circuit run!

"(A) cinematic magnum opus... call it Dostoyevsky meets Monty Python." - Randall King, The Winnipeg Free Press

"A labyrinthine story of lust, greed and kielbasa" - Peter Vesuwalla, Uptown
