Trailer for “Gimme Shelter”- The British Invasion Series

Although fall semester/quarter for college students has just begun, it can quickly become an arduous process. Running across campus with heavy texts in hand is quite cumbersome and let’s face it, tiring for us non-athletic types. And do not forget the overwhelming feeling of reading the syllabus for the first time or finding out that there is an additional book to be bought on top of the sundry of theoretical, philosophical, historical (non-fictional) texts already purchased. If you need to escape and can not wait until Thanksgiving  OR can not afford to take a mini vacay, Cinefamily has the solution.
What better way to satisfy those academic woes than a celebratory evening of watching rare and exploratory films. Cinefamily is offering ALL college students free membership now until October 10th. This means students get into a majority of films for free and receive amazing discounts for special events. Upon admittance, present your ID at the box office and you will get in for FREE and even receive a FREE bucket of popcorn! What a deal! Even more, you can write a film synopsis for school. Just say it was an educational experience and you may even receive extra credit!
Highlights in September-

British Gangsters: (Friday, 9/18 & Saturday, 9/19)
The Cinefamilypresents a special sneak preview of Bronson, the story of Britain’s most violent and expensive prisoner, the ultra-violent career criminal Charles Bronson. With an unnervingly bizarre and disturbing performance by Tom Hardy that fills every minute of the film, and a aggressive and effective storytelling style (our protagonist narrates his tale to an anonymous audience from an Edwardian music hall stage, whilst dressed as a circus strongman), Bronson is a can’t miss experience. Directed by Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn, known for the Pusher trilogy, Bronson is a virtuosic explosion of style filled with twisted theatrical imagery, the music of Wagner, Puccini, and the Pet Shop Boys, and a truly terrifying portrayal of Britain’s most notorious criminal.   The latest, greatest gangster film in a long tradition of badass British thrillers. Dir. Nicholas Winding Refnwill be in attendance for both showings.

British Invasion Music Series: (Thursday, 9/24)
Grab your mates, find a dishy bird or bloke, and get fancy with a flood of fad footage. Telly specials, promo vids, and live rock-outs of the best that Britain brought across the pond to America. Rarely seen scenes from obscure movies and parodies will round the mix out. The, stick around, and have a beer with us to watch Catch Us If You Can, and all will be tickitty-boo. A surprising first film by director John Boorman (Deliverance, Point Blank), this pop Noir rock-’n-roll vehicle for the Dave Clarke Five strays from the rockumentary-fiction structure set forth by films like A Hard Days Night. More serious and sad, Catch Us If You Can is a tale of a media sweetheart rebelling against the machine that groomed him.
