Doors 6pm

6:30 PM, Admission $7

EVERY, EVERYTHING: THE MUSIC, LIFE AND TIMES OF GRANT HART (2013, 97 min.) –dir/scr: Gorman Bechard w/ Grant Hart, Husker Du, et al.
The late Grant Hart’s (Husker Du, Nova Mob) life from birth in South St. Paul to release of his 2013 album ‘The Argument’ is well-covered in filmmaker Bechard’s (Color Me Obsessed) rockumentary. Stylistically reminiscent of Errol Morris ‘The Fog of War’ as eloquent conversationlist Hart is the only interview of the film. Plenty of locations and clips though for all Husker fans!

8:30 PM, No cover/ Donations Encouraged

Silent / Music Revival presents BUNUEL’s surreal classic L’ AGE D’OR (projected on 16MM!) with live soundtrack by Houdan the Mystic! When director Luis Bunuel’s cryptic satire of Church and State was released in 1930 it was attacked by forces of Catholicism and Fascism, and deemed blasphemous ultimately by its producer, Comte de Noilles.
2 reels with brief intermission
