A Drunken Evening with Derek Waters & Wholphin
Join us Monday April 26th, for A Drunken Evening with Derek Waters & Wholphin 9:30pm at the Sundance Kabuki Theater.
Derek Waters (Pity Card, Funny or Die) headlines this night of mild debauchery, featuring several of his short films including installments from the ridiculously popular Drunk History series for which actors such as Will Ferrell, Don Cheadle and John C. Reilly reenact videotaped recountings of historical events by sloshed storytellers. Simple, popular, dead-wrong, just like so many things we adore. The program also includes short film collaborations between Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show) and Waters, including the hilarious The Pity Card from the series Derek and Simon, starring Waters and Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory) and featuring an appearance by the always disturbing Zach Galifianakis. Interspersed with these and other shorts will be conversation between Waters and Brent Hoff, editor of Wholphin. Bursts of audience participation and, no doubt, steady drinking will round out the evening.
Presented as a part of the San Francisco International Film Festival. Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased here through the festival box office: https://www.trilogyticketing.com/sffs/?SFIFF53
Celestial Navigations: The Short Films of Al Jarnow

“Tens of millions of people have seen these films. Nobody knows who made them.”
Come join us at the Red Vic Movie House on Thursday, April 22nd at 7 and 9pm for a screening of Al Jarnow’s incredible work, plus a Q & A with Al after each screening.
Celestial Navigations, the Numero Group’s recent release, includes 45 films
restored from the original 16mm prints with fully remastered sound. Special
features include a 30-minute documentary on Jarnow’s creative process, as
well as a 60-page book loaded with essays, ephemera, storyboards, photos, and more.
Beginning with his work for Sesame Street, Al Jarnow captured life’s scientific minutia and boiled it down for easy consumption. Using time-lapse, stop motion, and cel animation with simple objects found in every day life, Jarnow deconstructed the world for an entire generation.
