Black Saturday

What a great thing here, and it's free! The Balboa Theater and the SFSU Documentary Film Institute are going to present all this year's Oscar nominated films for free for two days, 2/20 and 2/21. I am really happy this is happening. At last the indie theaters come back with something innovative and worthwhile to get people back in their seats!
