DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL FILM LOVERS! PROTEST TO SAVE THE CASTRO  For the past 28 years, 
 we have taken the Castro Theatre for granted. We always assumed it would 
 remain a unique combination of beautiful movie palace and intelligent, 
 innovative programming. But now this cultural treasure is in jeopardy. The 
 owners' recent decision to dismiss Anita Monga, one of the top programmers 
 in the country, has had repercussions that are only beginning to be felt. 
 Filmmakers and distributors have pulled their films from the Castro's 
 upcoming schedule. Because of Monga's abrupt departure, the Castro's 
 ability to present rare archival prints, re-released classics, and 
 cutting-edge documentaries is imperiled.  JOIN US on December 18th from 
 3-5pm in front of the Castro Theatre (429 Castro Street, between 17th & 
 18th) to protest Monga's firing and demand that the theatre owners bring 
 her back and make it possible for her to continue her work. Their misguided 
 decision has a negative impact not only on their business, but also on San 
 Francisco's reputation as a city that fosters cultural excellence. Without 
 a programmer of Monga's caliber and influence, the newly renovated Castro 
 is just a beautiful shell.  EMAIL rehireanita@yahoogroups.com to get 
 involved and get updates. Also check out http://www.duboce.net/castro for 
 more information and links to press coverage.  Organized by Audiences in 
 Action, a group of film lovers committed to saving the Castro.  A Cultural 
 Treasure Belongs To Everyone.    \n
