The US Experience film series explores the mythos of "The American Dream" in its historical, political, and philosophical dimensions.

Over the course of ten months, San Francisco resident and long-time 4-12 educator David Giesen will screen ten films, supplying for each a 15 minute pre-show talk about US American themes embodied in the film. This series aims to be as much entertainment as cause for thoughtful reflection.

The ten films--many are musicals--in presentation order, are, 1776, THE MISFITS (1961), PAINT YOUR WAGON, GONE WITH THE WIND, HELLO DOLLY!, SHOW BOAT, LITTLE TOUGH GUY, CASA BLANCA, WEST SIDE STORY, HAIR

Gratis supper 6-7 pm; pre-film talk 7-7:20; film screening 7:30-9:30; post-film yacking 9:30-10
