Casual, I would suggest take a jacket along as it can get cold in the theater.

Everything we've seen here, we've really enjoyed. Just come early, you have to stand in line to get a good couch seat! Members get in first, others second. Also, don't miss watching ALL of the pre-show clips - they're great! Often one of the staff speaks ahead of time, which is cool.Written on Mar 05 2012

Cartoon Night. A good selection of Jay Ward and Tex Avery shorts. Missed the mark by omitting Peabody & Sherman. Unfortunately, the pre- and intermission DJ music was so loud, I was waiting for Abe Simpson to yell, "Turn it up!" Conversation was difficult.Written on Jul 06 2011
Not a bad night, but an odd vibe. Also, oddly kept everyone waiting in line on the sidewalk until 10 min before showtime, so the concessions were a zoo. Incredibly uncomfortable chairs, despite throw cushions.
Overall, the place is run by a group that knows cinema, but not theater management. Worth it at Goldstar price, not at retail.

A little known (in USA) cinematic gem! To say it's a feckin amazing 'Japanese no time no budget 4 hour comic action dramatic controversial masterpiece' is an understatement. Best I can say is after the 4 hour film finished I wished it hadn't. Left the crowd cheering!Written on May 20 2011
The worst I can say is I wish the theater mgt didn't take a 15 min intermission at 2 1/2 hours. It threw off the rhythm of the work. But that aside...SEE IT before it's gone!!!

May 3, 2012: Numbers, Patterns and Shapes -- Later Abstractions of the 1960s and 1970s
Alternative Projections’ previous Spielberg Theater show of Early Abstractions (from the 1940s and 1950s) presented an evolution of filmic imagery, spanning from the heady terrain of long-ago abstracted sculptural shapes to the early images created by animation and optical printer. In this sequel show, at Cinefamily we continue the survey with a peek into the classic ‘60s/’70s era. John Whitney’s 1967 Experiments in Motion Graphics introduces the possibilities of computer animations, the classic films 7362 by Pat O’Neill and Kitsch in Synch by Adam Beckett reveal some of the unbelievable possibilities of optical printer work, Jules Engel’s Train Landscape uses traditional animation, and Michael Scroggins works with pioneering video manipulation!
May 4 and 6, 2012: My Neighbor Totoro
Director Hayao Miyazaki's most biographical and affectionate creation, My Neighbor Totoro has given rise to the most recognized, reproduced and well-loved monsters in Studio Ghibli's canon. Evocative and immaculately designed, the sweetly compelling quality of this film remains undiminished by exposure. Here, audiences enter a modern, yet nostalgic world of rice paddies, adorably thrill-thirsty young gals (Satsuki & Mei), and the majestic reverence of nature we have come to recognize from this animation giant. But within this tranquil realm there lies a dormant mythical creature so huge, so powerful and so terrifyingly cute that one can only squeal with glee at the sight of him, jumping instantly onto his big fluffy belly. Unforgettably iconic interactions with fabled floating “soot sprites”, a giant multi-legged cat-bus and the cuddly king of the forest himself, make this classic animation treasure too gorgeous to miss. My Neighbor Totoro is presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
May 6 and May 12, 2012: Spirited Away (English-dubbed version)
Completely wiping off the table all preconceived notions of anime by simply being one of the greatest animated features ever inked, this richly envisioned tale — which truly astounds with every beautifully conceptualized moment — is a timeless triumph of style, storytelling, color, texture, wonderment, emotionality and pretty much any other category you can dream up. Separated from her parents on a chance outing to a ghost-town amusement park, 10-year-old Chihiro is engulfed in a mind-boggling spirit world whose ever-shifting landscapes resemble a M.C. Escher-inspired “Legend Of Zelda” labyrinth — one teeming with a multitude of yokai folklore monsters to boot. Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice (who provides much inspiration here), all of Chihiro’s learned tasks, brave interactions, and blossoming emotions are symbolic of the trials of childhood — and are rendered by Miyazaki in a perfect balance of humor, horror and unabashed surrealism. Like all of cinema’s great masterpieces, Spirited Away can only truly be experienced on the big screen. This presentation of Spirited Away is accompanied by an English-dubbed audio track.
May 6, 2012: Almanac of Fall (archival 35mm print!)
Considered a turning point from Tarr’s early social realism to his later precisely formal work, Almanac of Fall elliptically discloses the shifting relationships between five inhabitants of a house through a chain of theatrical tête-à-têtes. Their philosophical quandaries and deferred dreams coil into bitter circles of duplicitous manipulations that fuel eruptions of violence and underhanded exit strategies. Lit by expressionistic, lurid colors and followed by the mysterious gaze of a meandering, equally conspiratorial camera, the cursed spirits seem destined to reenact their base desires and vengeful patterns in a disorienting purgatory of opulent decay.
May 7, 2012: The Nude Vampire (world premiere of live score by Demdike Stare!) and Daughters of Darkness
British duo of darkness Demdike Stare creeps upon the Cinefamily for the world premiere of their doomy, occult-laden ghost-ambient score to of one of the most visually stunning erotic horror films ever! The Lancashire, UK hauntologists play to a very special "re-vamped" version of The Nude Vampire, Jean Rollin's surrealistic 1970 classic of beguiling bloodthirtsy babes and fantastical phantasms! After the break, it's a 35mm repertory screening of the 1971 Euro vamp classic Daughters of Darkness! Plus, DJs Wesley Eisold (of Cold Cave) and Becka Diamond will be here to spin tunes before and after the films!
May 10, 2012: Studio Ghibli's Porco Rosso
Porco Rosso is a perfect animation storm of Miyazaki madness: a stylish, dizzy aerial adventure tracking the intrigue and romantic exploits of a heroic fighter pilot — one who just happens to be an anthropomorphic pig! Set in Italy between the World Wars, Porco Rosso follows Marco Pagot, a flying ace rendered porcine (but no less valiant or capable) by a magical curse. The "Crimson Pig" divides his time between bounty-hunting feuds with sea pirates, and Casablanca-inspired passages reminiscing with his old flame Gina, beautiful owner of the Hotel Adriano. Based on Miyazaki's manga Hikōtei Jidai, the story centers around the epic, escalating duel between Porco and dashing American blowhard Donald Curtis, who makes for a delicious rival, due in large part to his shifting loyalties and romantic intentions toward the women in Porco's life. Complete with thrilling, complex airborne battles, this tender, reverent, underrated homage to chivalrous post-war cinema is pure luxurious escapism that gets even better with repeated viewings!
May 11, 2012: Studio Ghibli's Castle In the Sky
Soar with the first animated feature ever created by Studio Ghibli! Castle In the Sky finds Ghibli maestro Hayao Miyazaki in full-blown visionary mode, confidently piloting another high-altitude adventure — one stuffed this time around with magic levitation crystals, giant robots, and wisecracking steampunk sky pirates. The adventure of two orphans on a fated mission to restore order to Laputa (Earth's last floating city) is steeped in familiar film fantasies, but is far too much fun to ever feel trite. From the film's opening airship escape to its spellbinding finale, Miyazaki's flair for imaginative world-building elevates the intricately conceived dream architecture and gripping action sequences that would soon become Ghibli's stock-in-trade. Castle in the Sky remains a seminal moment, encapsulating Miyazaki's obsessions while providing a framework for everything that was to follow.
May 11, 2012: Friday Night Frights presents Demons
Taking its cues from Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead and ramping the madness up to 11, Demons pushes forward from the ‘80s Italian horror mold of basic giallo/slasher tropes to become a freaky, fucked-up funhouse of amazing grisly setpieces. Directed by Lamberto Bava (son of Mario Bava), and with a script written by maestro Dario Argento, Demons centers around a movie theater that’s screening a film about demons — during which the patrons become possessed by (you guessed it) demons! It's meta-horror that pre-dates the meta-horror boom of the ‘90s/’00s, and frankly, it’s a million times more fun. Wacky characters, awesome monster makeup and gallons of grue abound, with its breakneck pace and nonstop gore gags making it a wild ride from frame one. A screening of this Satanic masterwork is rare indeed; we can't promise you won't get possessed, but we can promise you'll love every sinful second!
May 14, 2012: The Eric Andre Show (Season One sneak preview, Eric Andre in person!)
Co-presented by Adult Swim
Fans of Space Ghost: Coast To Coast and Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, it's time to get excited — The Eric Andre Show is the brand-new slab of total talk show madness to hit Adult Swim! This brand-new anarchic kid on the (programming) block, hosted by Andre (co-star of ABC's Don't Trust The B—— in Apartment 23) and partner-in-crime Hannibal Buress (writer on both SNL and 30 Rock), takes the form of a dingy late-night public-access chat program within an alternate reality. Amongst the strangeness, it creates its own distorted pop culture universe by conducting interviews with an unpredictable mix of actual celebrities, “fake” celebrities and extreme real-life weirdos. Join us for a sneak preview of some upcoming Eric Andre Show episodes, plus a panel discussion/Q&A with Eric and other folks from the show!
