DESCRIPTION:Friday, December 15.  7 PM.  Fools Foundation.  Admission: $5.00.\n\nYou 
 may have never heard of this film, but if you've been attending our weekly 
 screenings, you've probably caught the trailer for it.  Very briefly 
 released on VHS in the mid-80's, there are no current plans for a DVD 
 release of this title.\n\nFrom "Kids in the Hall" director John Paizs comes 
 a true obscurity from 1985. Rarely screened or seen in the US, Shiny Object 
 and Fools Foundation are excited to bring this brilliantly bent oddity to 
 Sacramento, thanks entirely to Mr. Paizs himself. There's no realistic way 
 to try to convey this film in words, but the general plot centers on a 
 quiet young man (also played by Paizs) who is intent on writing "the 
 greatest color crime movie ever made," but can only write beginnings and 
 endings - and only those by streetlight. After befriending the young Kim, 
 she tries to help him complete his opus, but fails. Throughout the film, 
 the various beginnings, endings, and rejected "middles" are dramatized. 
 Throw in a mysterious and psychotic script doctor named Dr. Jolly, a 
 private club for imaginary friends, a quarantined city -- and you still 
 won't come close to the idea of what this film is really like. Trivia note: 
 Guy Maddin's first on-screen appearance was in a 1981 short by John Paizs. 
 \n\n"Genuinely unique--every time you think you know where it's going, it 
 veers off in some strange, and strangely fascinating, direction." - 
 Baltimore City Paper \n\nThis is planned to show with the even more obscure 
 1982 short film by John Paizs, "Springtime in Greenland."\n\n
