Indie Memphis Micro Cinema Night!!!!!
If you have never been to an Indie Memphis short film night at Power House Gallery, you're missing out. The second wednesday of every month the space turns its downstairs space into the perfect make-shift movie theater. It throws in some chairs, drops a giant movie screen, and sets up a wonderful free popcorn and wine booth. The group features filmmakers and artists from around the country and sometimes beyond it. For example, this month's selection of short films contains filmmakers from California, Wisconsin, New York, and Cuba, and the many spots in between. The films are also typically centered around a general theme. Titled "Go Organic", this exhibition's theme deals with the horrors of the American agricultural system. While there are some serious and disturbing documentaries dealing with this subject in the group, there are light hearted comedic films thrown in the mix as well, like the animated spoof by Louis Fox, "The Meatrix". What is also nice about the evening is that most of these films do not exceed ten minutes. So, that means that you are never settled and stuck in one film, and so the night is constantly entertaining. It is truly a wonderful way to spend an interesting evening with your friends without spending a cent. You can also come and go as you please which means there really is no reason not to go.This free event will be coming up February 13th at 7:30. Go check it out.
