DESCRIPTION:Friday, 9/12\n\n7:00 PM - Admission: $5.00\n\nLocation: 600 4th St, West 
 Sacramento (corner of 4th & F in West Sac).\n\nMy Name is Alan and I Paint 
 Pictures\n\nA five year chronicle about Alan Streets, a paranoid 
 schizophrenic, as he struggles to succeed as an artist in New York City. 
 Alan’s struggles and difficulties as an artist are so fully delineated 
 that one is left wondering if Alan’s paranoia is generated by his illness 
 or rather is just part of the reality of trying to make it as an artist in 
 New York City. Whatever the case, the viewer comes away from this memorable 
 film with a heightened appreciation for all artists, a better understanding 
 of a complex disease - and the fervent hope that Alan will somehow 
 persevere.\n\nCriticized by some viewers as bordering on exploitive, while 
 others have praised it as an insightful look into the worlds of art and 
 mental illness - we, as always, leave it up to you to decide what you 
 think.\n\nPlease note that there is some very heavy British accents in 
 this, and bits of the film are out of aspect ratio.\n\n"There is no 
 shortage of documentaries about mentally ill artists, but 'My Name Is Alan 
 and I Paint Pictures,' finds a fresh way into the subject" -- New York 
 Times\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/09/03/18532705.php
