 AIGA PRESENTS KYLE COOPER                 
Wednesday Feb 3rd.  6:00 - 9:00pm

Kyle Cooper has directed over 150 film title sequences, and has been credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing the main-title sequence as an art form. He is the founder of two internationally recognized design and production companies, Imaginary Forces and Prologue Films.

Cooper earned a M.F.A. in Graphic Design from the Yale School of Art, where he studied independently with Paul Rand. Cooper is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale and holds the honorary title of Royal Designer for Industry from the Royal Society of Arts in London.

Past work includes title design for Seven, Dawn of the Dead, Braveheart, Superman Returns, Mission: Impossible, The Painted Veil, Donnie Brasco, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Mimic, Wild Wild West, Titus, Zathura, Iron Man, and Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3.

 FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL                        
Thursday Feb 4th - 7:30 pm

Joe and Nick return to the Plaza Theatre with their always expanding collection of odd and hilarious found videos. They scour thrift stores, garage sales and even dumpsters to recover these discarded tapes to find so of the most awkward, absurd and entertaining clips from traning tapes, infomercials, public access television, and even home videos.

 BIZARRO SATURDAY MORNING                  
Thursday Feb 11th - 9:30 pm. #5 SUPER HERO WEIRDNESS!

Saturday Feb 13th - 3:00 pm.  #1 ENCORE!

A collection of rarely-seen 16 mm cartoons, commercials and saturday morning nostalgia.

Leave it to the twisted noggin of voice actor and animator, C. Martin Croker, to roll out an exhaustive collection of oddball animation dating back to the 1930s.
Croker, known by many as the voice of Zorak and Moltar on “Space Ghost: Coast-to-Coast,”
opens the vaults of his personal 16 mm film collection to share a mother lode of wild, weird, rare
and wacky animated goodies.
Take this rare opportunity to experience mind-blowing animation and familiar characters from
legendary animators like Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, Ralph Bakshi, Max Fleischer, Ward
Kimball, Walt Kelly and many others. Whether it’s Bakshi’s swirling psychedelia, a dose of
otherworldly Japanamation or a famous spinach chomping sailor spouting French, audiences
will likely be rubbing their eyes in between the laughs.
An animation historian in his own right, Croker will be hosting the festivities, shedding light into

the backstories of some of these rarely-seen, awe-inspiring gems.

Come see the first program that started it all on Saturday morning Feb 13th at 3pm!

Bring the whole family!




THE ROOM                                                    
Tuesday Feb 23rd - 9:30 pm

The film's so-bad-it's-freakin'-awesome vibe has attracted a devout army of aficionados whose membership includes the cream of Hollywood's comedy community. Role Models star Paul Rudd and Arrested Development's David Cross are both fans, as is Jonah Hill, who uses a still from the movie as his MySpace photograph. Heroes star Kristen Bell hosts Room-viewing parties at her house and last year attended the film's monthly Laemmle screening with Rudd, Hill, and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright. ''There is a magic about that film that is indescribable,'' she says.

The Room has even infiltrated the halls of cinematic academia. ''It is one of the most important films of the past decade,'' says Ross Morin, an assistant professor of film studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. ''It exposes the fabricated nature of Hollywood. The Room is the Citizen Kane of bad movies.''

If The Room is the Citizen Kane of bad movies, that makes Tommy Wiseau the Orson Welles of crap. Wiseau — who speaks with a thick, Schwarzeneggerian accent — directed, wrote, and produced the film. The muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded Johnny, and, when not exposing his ivory rump in the film's sex scenes, gives a performance that's both heartfelt and berserk. In one scene, a vein-poppingly distraught Wiseau howls the line, ''You are tearing me apart, Lisa!'' The moment — a favorite of Room fans — is reminiscent of both James Dean's ''You're tearing me apart!'' howl in Rebel Without A Cause and Marlon Brando screaming ''Stella!'' in A Streetcar Named Desire. At least it would be, if those actors had chosen to play their parts as deranged Austrians. (Entertainment Weekly)
