ALT.PICTURE SHOW: a true alternative
Reported by Katherine Sweetman
Local filmmaker and writer, Neil Kendricks, curates the 10th rendition of alt.pictureshows at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego‘s La Jolla venue, tomorrow, Thursday Aug 30, 7-10PM
Billed as “…thought-provoking short films guaranteed to challenge, surprise, and engage adventurous film lovers in search of a true alternative to the usual multiplex experience,” the film festival, (complete with bar) is always a great time.
