SUBVERSIVE SHORTS FESTIVAL at Santa Cruz GDI (8/3)

by Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In (drivein [at] guerilladrivein.org)
A program of rollicking and poignant Guerilla Drive-In Subversive Shorts. As you know, for years we've shown shorts before our feature film. By popular demand, we offer you an entire program of our subversive shorts. Great old shorts and many new ones. In addition, we offer you a convenient and central location that challenges the downtown police state.
SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN

Two important things you need to know about this Friday's GDI showing: 1) Note this week's location downtown, NOT at the RR tracks, and 2) Bring an FM radio.

On Friday we're screening the Guerilla Drive-In Subversive Shorts Festival right downtown. (For longtime GDI fans, this will feel like last year's Subversive Shorts Festival combined with the Flim Flam Film Festival challenging oppressive local laws.)

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents

Bikes Not Bombs Ride the Freeway, aka,
12th Annual Subversive Shorts Festival

A program of rollicking and poignant Guerilla Drive-In Subversive Shorts. As you know, for years we've shown shorts before our feature film. By popular demand, we offer you an entire program of our subversive shorts. Great old shorts and many new ones. In addition, we offer you a convenient and central location that challenges the downtown police state.

Friday Aug 3rd, 8pm
Pacific Ave & Cooper St, Downtown Santa Cruz
in front of the EvilPlex 9
(Always Free!)

NOTE: We will be right on Pacific at a fabulous downtown location this week, NOT at our usual RR tracks location. Repeat: We are NOT showing at the RR tracks this Friday. And for this showing, bring an FM radio. To skirt the stupid Santa Cruz laws regarding amplified sound, we'll be broadcasting the sound straight to your little radio.

PLUS an intermission, challenging ideas of public space, an enchanting downtown location, and great company.

BRING an FM radio, lawn chairs, blankets, pillows, friends, food & drink to share for intermission. Donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the project.

SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theater under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands. Beyond showing great movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public space and transforming our urban environment into the joyful playground it should be.

URBAN WASTELAND LOCATION:
Go up Pacific until you get to Cooper. Stop there. Pull up a piece of curb. Enjoy the movie.

hay, will you show the movie that the bicycle image above was taken from? I believe it was done locally in the Bay Area four years ago and was really fun.

I can't quite visualize a white wall by Cineplex.

Oh yeah, we'll show that.

The Guerilla Drive-In collective simply refers to the video of SF Bikes Not Bombs taking over the Embarcadero Freeway, as "The Video."

It is the discovery of this short that gave us the idea to start showing short subversive films before our GDI feature.

it's about time that you begin to invigorate a movement against facism, regionally, nationally, and particularly the local liberal facism state of affairs....

orale!

Hi GDI,

I've got a couple of requests for a night or two at the drive-in. I like the location for Friday night and feel that the RR tracks has gotten a bit stale. Under the bridge is OK, but still misses the point of catching the attention of the 'average person on the street' and is not that much of a challenge to the local police state.

Now, the requests:

Get this, it is very nice to watch.

Another, shorter flick, also very good:
