-------------------------------------------------------------
The Richmond Moving Image Co-op shakes off the cobwebs and fires up the projectors for an 8-week films series at the Canal Club called Club Cinema. All but two programs take place on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. starting next Thursday, October 4. Most shows are $5 at the door, though there are a couple of exceptions (please check our website for details.
The lead off program is Flicker, an ongoing screening series that features short Super 8 and 16mm films by area filmmakers, now in its 10th year in Richmond. The Thursday, Oct. 4 Flicker will take place at The Canal Club, 1545 E. Cary Street (in Shockoe Bottom, near Bottoms Up Pizza). Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $3 at the door. Come early to grab a table and some food. We'll be trying out the Canal Club's newly reconditioned downstairs space, which provides a more intimate, Club Cinema atmosphere.
Check the RMIC website www.rmicweb.org for details about other programs in the Club Cinema series, which includes visits by experimental filmmaker and former Chapel Hill Flicker organizer Roger Beebe, former James River Film Festival guest and A/V Geeks mastermind Skip Elsheimer (has 18,000 films, will travel), and former James River Film Festival guest and renowned animator Bill Plympton.
See you at Club Cinema, starting next Thursday, October 4 and running through Thursday, November 29 (no show during Thanksgiving week, Nov. 22).

I'm in! we should caravan! Or...skip...or not.
Who's in?
I thought Flicker was really pretty cool. I think my aesthetic favorite was this short film from a woman out of Roanoke, Va. It was shot in B&W and retold a true story of a woman and her observations about people and difference. As a small child she noticed that a small kitten got more attention that had no tail than it's sibling with a tail. In order to insure the other cat got equal treatment she chopped off its tail.
Overall the films were good and quirky.
