FILM

Spacetaker, in association with Cinema Bomar, is pleased to present, 16mm Movie Nights, curated by Cinema Bomar.

Summer is upon us, so we are bidding a temporary farewell to our hosts at Domy until fall. In the meantime, thanks to Super Happy Fun Land and Spacetaker Gallery we can beat the heat with Pepito the 16mm way.

CinemaBomar puts on on showings of 16mm industrial, educational and ephemeral films from our personal collection.  Our mission is to give people the experience of seeing these films, most of which were never intended to survive to the present, in their original format with all the damage that time has wrought.

Saturday, July 10, 2010 6:30 PM at Spacetaker Gallery 2101 Winter Street Houston, TX 77007-4429 http://www.spacetaker.org/. Admission Free.
