SOHO CINEMA CLUB "PLANET OF THE APES-ATHON"!
Hi ,
Just a special NEWS EXTRA to remind all you LOS ANGELES-based film-fans of our SOHO CINEMA CLUB "PLANET OF THE APES-ATHON" - next Friday Aug. 30th - Doors open at 7.00pm, Show starts 7.15pm
LET'S ALL GO APE!
So what's special about next Friday's screening? Well it's the first time anyone has seen all 5 APES classics projected the way we're doing it! See all 5 in just 40 mins. What!? you cry out! How the hell is that possible?
Well, in the 1970s the APES films were “abridged” down to 8 minute 200ft Super 8mm ‘digest’ versions for home viewing. That was years before VHS and DVDs. Now for the first time ever, see the entire 5 PLANET OF THE APES Super 8 saga all at once, in just 40 minutes. On the big screen at the World’s Only Super 8mm Cinema, the SOHO CINEMA CLUB in Los Angeles, CA. With full supporting program of unique 1970s openings, trailers, ads, rare sci-fi shorts and much more! All on fabulous Super 8 mm film!
With only a week or so to go before our Ape-tastic event we've added a handful of extra seats - since demand has been so high. So purchase your tickets in advance to save disappointment. Check out the first trailer for next week's PLANET OF THE APES-ATHON screening in LA. The SOHO CINEMA CLUB is not only the World's Only Super8mm Cinema (if you've shot anything on Super 8mm we'd love to screen it on film), but also a great place for indie filmmakers to meet, relax and network over a drink or two.
We've also updated the PARKING info - with some examples of parking spaces near the cinema. Please note these are just suggestions. Non of the parking businesses or parking locations are affiliated with the venue, so park at your own risk. And always check the street signs.
Plus we'll have a raffle (with APE-themed prizes), audience participation, popcorn, snacks, drinks and way too much cool merch!
We also have 'live' entertainment in between the films with, for the first time ever, the one the only SIMIAN INTERMISSION MAGICIAN! Be prepared to be stunned and amazed by his (we hope) APE-inspiring, APE-tastic, APE-psychic powers from beyond!
So get ready for prizes, old-school usherettes, tons of SOHO merch, special guests, neon-art, the best dressed APE cinema manager in town and the 'magic' of film projection!
This is 40 seat theatre so it's advisable to purchase in advance. See you at the movies!
