#local-filmmakers

Mainstream theaters didn't want to screen the film because of how political it was. We did, and we had packed houses. Years later, we screened 'Black Panther.' The first week, we showed the film on screens one, two, and three, and we were selling out every show.

I'm particularly excited about two screenings: "Paper Bag Plan" by Anthony Lucero whose debut film was "East Side Sushi," and the documentary "In The Red" by Mimi Chakarova which follows five youths of color through their training at the BAY EMT program. If you would like us to consider an event for this weekly list, please email me at azucena@oaklandside.org.
