Event Details

The Berkeley Underground Film Society is an all ages club for collectors, researchers, and film enthusiasts in the East Bay and San Francisco area. Their goal is to review and share a selective film history of buried, rarely projected, or otherwise obscure 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm prints in our collection. Join them on April 13 for a free double-feature.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
The Rocky Horror Picture show is narrated by a criminologist, tells the tale of newly engaged couple, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who find themselves lost and with a flat tire on a cold and rainy late November evening. Seeking a phone with which to call for help, Brad and Janet discover a group of strange and outlandish people who are holding an Annual Transylvanian Convention.

Fame (1980)
Fame follows a group of students through their studies at the New York High School of Performing Arts (which later merged with the High School of Music and Art to become the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts). The film is split into sections corresponding to auditions, freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. The film ranked number 42 on Entertainment Weekly’s 2006 list of the “50 Best High School Movies”.

Presented on Super 8 film, these are abridged and rare versions of these films. These are not the complete features but, selected scenes edited by the studios, later released for a short time to the home market. Arrive early for parking, or take the ACT 51 and exit Alcatraz.
