Cinefamily Mixtapes are our signature, original, long-form video montages of found footage madness. They’ll blow your mind, bring a smile to your face, renew or destroy your faith in humanity, may or may not be hazardous to your health – and just might change your life.
Our crack team of programmers have searched through every corner of the galaxy and the darkest parts of the internet, to find the most brain frying tributes, rip offs, cross promotions gone wrong, and more from the last 40 years of Star Wars.

For a basic run down, it looks like they'll be keeping with
a modern art vibe with art as far back as 1990, which isn't that long ago for
art. It's a big space, bigger than The Broad and has three stories. As stated
you can go for free, but May is already gone with reserved times and June is
going to. The general public are only allowed in three days of the week.

Ahrya Fine Arts
$
5-25-77 writer-director Patrick Read Johnson and actor Colleen Camp will participate in a Q&A after the May 25 screening at the Fine Arts.
5-25-77 is produced by Gary Kurtz (Star Wars, American Graffiti) and Fred Roos (Lost in Translation)
and tells the true story of a sci-fi obsessed filmmaker living in a
small town who grows up making 8mm knockoffs of his favorite films,
until one day, his mom, desperate to help him escape the fate of small
town life, makes a phone call to the editor of American Cinematographer Magazine that results in a Wizard of Oz-like transport of our hero to Hollywood… where he becomes the first person that didn’t work on Star Wars, to see Star Wars.
The film then details his return to his tiny home town… and an American Graffiti-esque night there, as he struggles to choose between taking off on the road to his dreams, or remaining trapped in the familiar world of his childhood.
