“One of the Cinefamily's favorite pursuits is talking back to the screen, and the activity works best with cringe-worthy material, which includes ambitious, elaborate awards shows. During the Oscars, LA's alt-cinema refuge turns into a temporary TV lounge where the audience is welcome (and encouraged) to speak its mind. Tonight's collective viewing benefits the Cinefamily, an organization of hardworking cinephiles that screens the best in cult favorites at the Silent Movie Theatre.”
Tanja M. Laden, Flavorpill
The annual onslaught of film awards telecasts is like a multi-car pileup on the 405 -- impossible to ignore, and teeming with celebrity carnage. And, of course, the biggest awards show of them all, the Super Bowl of moviedom, can be a blast in spite of its girth, given the right social setting. So why watch the Oscars® streaming on your desktop all by your lonesome, or in some seedy dive where the local reprobates are yammering over the sound of those bizarre musical numbers, when you can catch the whole shebang live at the Cinefamily, on the big screen -- and support your favorite non-profit cinematheque at the same time?
