Oakland Critical Mass is a monthly group bike ride that takes place every first Friday of the month, which starts at 8 pm at the BikeLink bike lockers at 14th and Broadway, and ends at 23rd and Telegraph where Oakland Art Murmur is underway. Critical Mass is argued to be a political-protest for bikers' rights, but it's also a fun social ride that takes over the streets.
Technical ineptitude, wooden dialog, concepts that never should've made it beyond paper - it's all celebrated at this quirky festival of clips and short films, taking place at a sound studio in downtown Oakland. "Did your budget run out? Did your actor get sick?" reads the fest's pitch line. "Did your high concept fall flat?... Submit any project that highlights work gone wrong. All failures welcome."
