Basically a repost from our mailing list, but I figured some of you on the forum might be interested in this.

Movies on a Big Screen, in conjunction with LJ Urban present "Radiant City."
http://www.shiny-object.com/screenings/radiantcity.jpg
Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFNdQDBy2rY
Location: LJ Urban. 1931 H St, Sacramento. That's right on the corner of 20th & H. Entrance will be on the side door (not the front door) on 20th St. You know, if we used an actual front door, it just wouldn't be Movies on a Big Screen, now would it? :)
Admission: Free!!!! Seating is somewhat limited (we think we can squeeze around 100 in) though, so arriving a bit early is not such a bad idea.
This had been planned for months, and was to originally take place at a different venue which we have been doing weekly Friday film screenings at. Due to the recent closure of that venue, LJ Urban stepped up and graciously also offered to open up the spacious back area of their office to accommodate the screening, for which we could not be more grateful, as we are currently looking for a replacement venue! Don't expect too fancy of a set-up, though, as this location is a patch. We might even be projecting off of a table top onto a 10 foot portable tripod screen.
Folks from LJ Urban will be in attendance (or maybe in this case I should phrase it as "we'll be in attendance" since it is *their* office and all) and speaking a bit following the film. Along with them, Graham Brownstein from ECOS (Environmental Council of Sacramento) will also speak for a bit. Of course, they'll all be around if you have any questions. And make sure to marvel at the infamous LJ Urban mini-car while you're there!!
About Radiant City:
Gary Burns, Canada's king of surreal comedy, joins journalist Jim Brown on an outing to the suburbs. Venturing into territory both familiar and foreign, they turn the documentary genre inside out, crafting a vivid account of life in The Late Suburban Age.
Urban sprawl is eating the planet. Across the continent the landscape is being levelled - blasted clean of distinctive features and overlaid with zombie monoculture. Politicians call it growth. Developers call it business. The Moss family call it home...

Those of you who have been to our usual Friday screenings in the past are already aware of the -ahem- comfort level of our regular seating on folding chairs, if you have not been to a MoBS screening yet you should know to feel free to bring a pillow or cushion.
