Temescal Street Cinema: Outdoor Films & Free Popcorn | Oakland

The Temescal Street Cinema homegrown outdoor film series is back for 2012 showing films on the side of the Bank of the West Building in Oakland, with live music, films and free popcorn.

Rather than showing boring major blockbusters, these are strange and interesting films by Bay Area artists and filmmakers that you’re unlikely to see anywhere else.
